Publisher's Synopsis
THE EVANGELISM HANDBOOK is a practical guide (for real life application) in aiding all Christians in sharing biblical beliefs, the Good News of the Kingdom, how to deal with Bible critics, overturning false beliefs, so as to make disciples, as commanded by Christ. Matthew 24:14; 28:19-20; Ac 1:8
