{"product_id":"the-reluctant-evangelist-isbn-9781784983420","title":"The Reluctant Evangelist","description":"This is the most readable and accessible commentary on the book of Jonah. The story of the prophet is filled with surprising twists and turns—and loads of lessons for us today. Richard is a trustworthy and insightful guide to the readers of this book. It will be a boon to preachers and listeners alike. | Some expositions of Jonah almost entirely miss God's evangelistic compassion—infinitely stronger than that of the prophet Jonah. Not so this popular exposition, written with verve and panache by Richard Coekin. Coekin thinks through what it means to lose our reluctance to be evangelists. Above all, he reminds us of what Jonah rediscovered: \"Salvation comes from the Lord!\" | This gripping book is packed with compelling reasons and practical encouragement to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. It both inspires and equips the \"reluctant evangelist\". | As Christians we know that we ought to be passionately committed to evangelism, but many of us are reluctant to share the good news about Jesus with others. Richard Coekin rightly identifies that our main problem is a lack of motivation. Rather than inducing unproductive and discouraging guilt, in this compelling short book he expounds the well-known story of Jonah, and urges us to see the compassionate character and sovereign saving purposes of God. Written with clarity and directness, and packed with personal testimonies and engaging illustrations, no one who reads this book will fail to be inspired, encouraged and empowered to overcome their reluctance in personal evangelism. Many churches would be greatly blessed if the whole congregation were to read the book together, and it is an ideal resource for discussion in small groups, perhaps taking a chapter each week for reflection and prayer. | I love this book! It’s full of biblical insight and practical wisdom on evangelism but, far from just filling the head with instruction, it warms the heart with passion. Richard not only reminds us of why and how we should share our faith but also inspires us to get on with it. | Richard Coekin is the Director of Reach Ministries UK.
