Overview

If the Gospel is such good news, why is it so hard to share? Jesus instructs his followers to carry out the Great Commission—to preach the Gospel in all times and places—yet many of us cannot muster the strength to share the Gospel with our neighbors, family members, and closest friends. Perhaps you find yourself tongue-tied, stumbling over your words, failing in your good intentions. Or maybe you’re a pastor, and find the evangelism efforts of your church languishing.

In the 9-volume R. Larry Moyer Evangelism Collection, Moyer shows you how to share your faith and gives you the courage to testify to the work of God. His insight, clarity, and experience in evangelism will breathe new life into your evangelism efforts, and will help you share the Good News in sensible and understandable ways. The books in this collection include devotionals for new believers and evangelists alike, and address the basic questions of non-believers and common obstacles to the faith. Moyer corrects the common misconceptions about evangelism and the mistakes made by evangelists, and also inspires vital evangelistic efforts in churches and in the lives of individuals. Pastors, teachers, and anyone interested in discerning new and exciting ways to follow the Great Commission will benefit from R. Larry Moyer’s advice and experience!

21 Things God Never Said: Correcting Our Misconceptions about Evangelism

"When you miss an opportunity to share Christ with someone, it’s your fault if that person goes to hell."

Not true, says veteran evangelist and teacher Larry Moyer. God never said many of the things that we believe. In this practical book, Moyer dispels twenty-one common misconceptions Christians have about evangelism. With biblical principles and practical suggestions, he helps us learn to witness out of grace, not guilt.

Salvation is free, yet it did not come without great cost. Salvation is also simple, yet many believers struggle because they add requirements that are not found in Scripture. Larry Moyer does a superb job of challenging these misconceptions, freeing God’s children to fully abound in his grace.

—Jack Eggar, president and CEO, Awana Clubs International

Many who think they are sharing the Gospel are leaving out important elements that sinners need to hear: they're lost; Christ paid the penalty for their sin; we are saved through simple faith in Christ alone and not in praying some prayer or doing some other act. This book should help clear up confusion in the minds of many people.

31 Days to Contagious Living: A Daily Devotional Guide on Modeling Christ to Others

• Author: R. Larry Moyer
• Publisher: Kregel
• Publication Date: 2000
• Pages: 104

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

This creative one-month devotional will revitalize your life for Christ and, in doing so, draw people to him. Evangelism, biblically defined, means sharing the Gospel with the intent of seeing the other person trust Christ. Until we present the Gospel through spoken or written witness and invite people to trust Christ, we have not evangelized. Whether or not they come to Christ is ultimately God’s responsibility. But our job as evangelists includes both information and invitation. This devotional will help you live a contagious lifestyle by living Christ at the same time as you are sharing Christ.

If you’re praying for a loved one or friend who needs the Lord, join your prayers with these daily devotions and praise God for the results!

—Luis Palau

Moyer's devotional is meant to inspire Christians to do their job—live Christ at the same time you are sharing him. A month's worth of devotions includes a biblical passage, thoughts to consider, an illustration, meditation and prayer focus for each day.

If a non-Christian were to write an honest letter about God, what might it say? What might a Christian friend say in response? These two questions form the basis for Larry Moyer’s candid and heart-touching series of letters about God, followed by truthful, Bible-based responses.

Dear God, I’m Ticked Off answers many of the questions most commonly asked by non-Christians and examines the mind-set and thinking of the questioners while exploring the issues they raise, such as:

• God may have created the world, but he doesn’t seem to know how to run it.
• Jesus Christ is not the only person who claimed to be God. Isn’t it possible he was just on an ego trip?
• How can I trust the Bible? It was written more than two thousand years ago.
• If God is loving as the Bible claims he is, how can he send anyone to hell?
• If God is so great, why are his people so awful?
