Honest Evangelism – How to talk about Jesus even when it’s tough by Rice Tice with Carl Leferton (UK: Good Book Company, 2015).
Reviewed by Peter Blyth
I hope everyone has a great and wonderful new year and to pray for opportunities to share and be witnesses to Christ’s identity, mission and call to respond to him in faith.
I have be reading a short little book by Rico Tice (Associate Minister at All Souls Langham Place, London) and I think it is really helpful and offers some great tips to engage our family and friends with the good news of who Jesus is. There are simple yet effective ways of speaking Jesus into peoples hearts.
Following are some helpful hints summarized from the book:

A ‘Gospel Bite’ – a short answer to a commonly raised objection to the gospel.
The question of suffering looms large in the modern mind, particularly in light of disasters such as the 2004 tsanami in Asia, or the earthquakes in Christchurch, or the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011. Many of the issues need to be dealt with philosophically (does suffering disprove God’s existence?) or theologically (is God powerless to do anything?).
A ‘Gospel Bite’ – in other words a short answer to a commonly raised objection to the gospel.
Many people today regard themselves as mostly ‘good’ and therefore, without need of God’s forgiveness or commandments. It is often stated like this: ‘I might not be perfect, but I am a fairly good person’.
