Finally Alive
Practical advice for evangelism from John Piper's forthcoming book, Finally Alive:
"Be encouraged that simply finding people interesting and caring about them is a beautiful pathway into their heart. Evangelism gets a bad reputation when we are not really interested in people and don't seem to care about them. People really are interesting. Every person you talk to is an amazing creation of God with a thousand interesting experiences.... Very few people are interested in others. If you really find their story interesting, and care about them, they may open up to you and want to hear your story—Christ's story. (p. 185)"
