Crossway Blog:
On Friday February 19th, Outreach Magazine named Jerram Barrs’ Learning Evangelism from Jesus
the book of the year in the evangelism category.
The Outreach Resources of the Year is a celebration of the best books, DVDs and curricula produced to help the Church and Christians reach out in areas such as evangelism, compassionate service and cross-cultural ministries.
Congratulations to Dr. Barrs!
Barrs studied Jesus’ conversations with diverse people in his day and drew lessons and principles for attractively communicating the gospel to unbelievers in ours. While our culture may tempt God’s people to conform, retreat, or be silenced, Jesus exemplified how to attract people to the gospel. He modeled how to initiate spiritual conversations full of grace and truth. Christian evangelism, then, both in theory and practice, must be shaped by his pattern.
We invite you to read the sample chapter on Jesus and the Bible Teacher and consider getting a copy of his award winning resource.

Z, Great book! I'm in Jerram's Apol. & Outreach class right now and this was our first read. I have a new perpsective of loving my neighbor and how attractive He is through our love. Jerram's explanation of the gospel stories of Jesus are amazing, too. I've learned so much and would challenge churches and individuals to read this one! - Nile
