Know and Tell the Gospel

For most believers, clearly sharing the Christian gospel with someone is more of a dream than a reality. We feel inadequate and reluctant—but we absolutely want to see our friends come to know Jesus.

Filled with heart and humor, Know and Tell the Gospel deals with all the questions that quickly come to mind:

• Just what is the gospel anyway?
• Is it my job to explain it to people?
• What is God’s role and what is mine?
• Where does church fit in?
• Why is evangelism so often hard?
• How can we train ourselves and others to be involved?

Every Christian who is keen to take the gospel to our lost world must read this encouragement from John Chapman, a man who had more than 50 years of experience with evangelism and Bible teaching.

John Chapman (1930-2012)—affectionately known as ‘Chappo’—was a well-known evangelist, Bible teacher, and author of the best-selling A Fresh Start and Know and Tell the Gospel.

For 25 years, he was the Director of the Anglican Department of Evangelism in Sydney. In his ‘retirement’, he continued to teach at Bible colleges, to speak at conventions around the world, and to find time for the occasional game of tennis and golf. His other publications include A Sinner’s Guide to Holiness, Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life and Setting Hearts On Fire.
