Orginally penned in the early 80s, "Lifestyle Evangelism" is no less relevant today. Because the principles were both biblical and relational, they have stood the test of time. This book encourages all of us to live our faith in such a way that others will ask us a reason for the hope within. It also provides practical guidelines for connecting more deeply with those outside the faith.

If Christians would utilize the model for effective witnessing and evangelism that is in this book, so much more would be done on a daily basis for the cause of Jesus Christ.
I fear that we have ignored the need to adapt the way we attempt to reach non-believers in the world. Dr. Aldrich lays it out really simple in this book, and the use of the method he outlines is not only beneficial for the reaching of the lost, but for the edification of the Church as a whole.
Some would suggest that Evangelism should be solely confrontational and shove the Gospel of Christ down their throats, whether or not they desired it. But the method of Evangelism taught by Dr. Aldrich was clearly modeled by Jesus Christ in His life on earth.
This book is one that I'll use as a regular tool in my work for Christ.
