<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Rely on the unstoppable power of the gospel, not your own words</b> <p/>Most Christians have people in their lives who they're sure will never come to faith. Whether they're too committed to their sinful ways, too angry at God, or too quick to shut down any mention of the saving grace of Jesus, these long shots don't seem worth approaching. <p/>But some of the most unlikely converts have the strongest faith stories, and they can be a source of incredible encouragement for Christians who are trying to evangelize those around them. Randy Newman knows firsthand the discomfort that comes with sharing the gospel. He's been tongue-tied and timid too. But the truth is, we don't need to sound like the brilliant, charismatic, legendary evangelists. <p/>In this book, Randy shares surprising conversion stories straight from those who took the long way around to Christianity. He considers current cultural trends that make evangelism more difficult today. Then with his characteristic upbeat style, he offers practical ways, and even exact wording, to proclaim the gospel and includes a plan of action. <p/>In the end, <i>Unlikely Converts</i> encourages us to remember that while the Great Commission requires us to share the good news, it does not require perfection, only confidence in the message.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"In the course of my ministry, I have benefited enormously from Randy Newman's insights into evangelism. <i>Unlikely Converts</i> is another delightful read. If you want to be freshly amazed at God's power in the salvation of sinners, instructed in sharing the gospel with courage and clarity, and encouraged to faithfulness in your calling as an ambassador for Christ . . . this is the book for you!"--Mike McKinley, pastor of Sterling Park Baptist Church and author of Am I Really a Christian? (5/15/2019 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Looking for an infusion of hope and faith? Read Randy Newman's <i>Unlikely Converts</i> and you will be joyfully surprised. First that those you'd least expect can come to saving faith in Jesus Christ, and second that God can use your prayers, life, and words to make the gospel known. Full of amazing stories of God's pursuit of the lost and practical real-life application, Newman's winsome approach to evangelism has for years effectively equipped those of us without the big-E gift of evangelism. His warmth, humor, and storytelling make this an enjoyable and powerful read that you'll want to share with others. Unlikely Converts will help you be a witness for Jesus Christ, even to that neighbor or colleague you've labeled 'Most Unlikely to Convert.'"--Joel S. Woodruff, president of the C. S. Lewis Institute (5/15/2019 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Randy Newman has done it again! His latest book on personal evangelism is so captivating and inspirational that I read it in one sitting.--Lyle Dorsett, Professor of Evangelism at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University (5/15/2019 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Sometimes we lose hope that God can or will work, but this book left me confident in God's creative ability to reach into difficult souls and woo them to the Savior. The stories of how real people encounter Jesus remind us that God's work is a symphony. Different movements in the music move different people at opportune times. Newman's instructive comments amount to an 'on the job' apprenticeship in evangelism. God continues to work in even the most unlikely places."--Gregory E. Ganssle, prof. of philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, author of Our Deepest Desires (5/15/2019 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"This book will be a massive help to me as I train my church family for evangelism in the twenty-first century. Why do I trust Randy Newman like no one else? First, I trust his theology: he knows the gospel is that Jesus is Lord. Second, I trust his anthropology: he knows how it feels during evangelism to be human and afraid. Third, I trust his historical and cultural engagement: he gets where we are at. And lastly, I trust his experience: he's been immersed in evangelism with coworkers, family, and friends for over thirty years. I am so grateful to God for this great gift to the church."--Rico Tice, senior minister of evangelism at All Souls Church, London (5/15/2019 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"We need this book. Not because its author is a gospel guru, but because he's so much like us: a timid evangelist. Randy Newman writes that he can't remember sharing the gospel without fear, but that hasn't stopped his mouth or iced his heart. Few combine the heart for the lost, the patient ear, and the tongue of grace like Randy. He shows us how to let our speech always be gracious while still feeling unceasing anguish about hell-bound friends and family made in God's image. Let a brother who knows reluctance help you walk faithfully forward in yours."--David Mathis, executive editor at Desiring God & pastor of Cities Church (5/15/2019 12:00:00 AM)<br>
