Share Christ and Use Words They Are Necessary
Michael Edwards

Have you heard St Francis of Assisi quoted, "Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words?"

However, if you investigate, St Francis of Assisi never said those words.

It is more likely that St Francis agreed with the Bible.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Rom 10:17 NAS

The widely circulated St Francis misquote is often used by our flesh to justify our fear of man and avoid the discomfort of sharing the Good News with words. What will people think of us if we share the gospel with them? Will it be offensive to some, as the Bible states? Or, more importantly to our flesh, will they reject us and think we are crazy?

Don't get me wrong, our loving actions should always reflect our words. But the fear of man and our personal comfort are not good reasons to withhold Christ's life-giving words. Doing good, a smile and kind words of encouragement are very important, but they are of a temporary and fleeting nature and save no one unless they are coupled with the Good News.

How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? Rom 10:14: NAS

What helps me overcome the fear of man is to take a sincere look at the person and consider if I have the right to withhold God's forgiveness and eternal life from them. I may be their last and only chance to hear before death takes them. Maybe, just maybe, seeds will be planted and they will come to Christ for eternity. Or perhaps they will reject me. It's absolutely worth the limited risk and I have never regretted sharing my faith even when I have been rejected.

But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not intending to please people, but to please God, who examines our hearts. 1 Th 2:4 NAS

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member.

It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
