Will Metzger, on staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in Delaware, wrote the book&emdashliterally&emdashon evangelism. Tell the Truth is a must-have resource for the Christian looking for a balanced approach with field-tested answers to an extensive variety of questions about sharing the gospel with people. For example:

• What is the difference between witness and testimony?
• Do the ends justify the means as long as people are praying for salvation?
• Is it important to emphasize God's holiness and sovereignty as well as His love?
• How can one get started?
• Where does helping the needy fit into a plan for evangelism?
• Who is responsible for the results?

But Tell the Truth is much more than thoughtful answers to perplexing questions. It is an evangelistic manual dealing with key aspects of the whole gospel message, the importance of witnessing to the whole person, and the significance of being sure that evangelists are themselves whole people of godly character with a carefully prepared message and the skills needed to clearly communicate it.

The gospel is the most unique information you will ever share with someone. Once heard, a person must not only decide, but understand, the implications, deal with the emotions, and surrender his or her will to Christ. Metzger asserts that true and total conversion involves the whole person and the whole life.

On mission Christians will find Tell the Truth an invaluable aid in sharing Christ by building intentional relationships and inviting people into settings where they will hear the gospel in relevant ways.
