Description
The word Evangelism makes many Christians uncomfortable. Perhaps it is because evangelism “formulas” often feel manufactured, non-relational, and forced. But Jesus modeled a paradigm that was precisely the opposite. He shared the gospel in simple and personal ways by seeking out “the one” — the one who needed to meet Him most.
God led David McIver to follow this example, looking for one specific person each day to share the love of Jesus. Amazing Kingdom results followed his simple act of obedience.
In Looking for the One, David McIver—veteran minister, radio host for PraiseLive, and former chaplain for the Minnesota Twins— liberates readers from “evangelism” formulas, equipping them instead to walk in the same surrendered attentiveness that Jesus modeled, seeing lives transformed by the true power of the gospel.
Looking For the One is 31 short stories of people experiencing Jesus in grocery stores, parking lots, boats, golf courses, airplanes, and baseball dugouts. But this book is really about reaching the ones in your life: the broken, forgotten, abused, and outcast, the family member who wants nothing to do with Jesus.
Through incredible personal stories, sound biblical teaching, and practical application, McIver leads readers to follow Jesus’ example, carrying the gospel in ways that are… • Genuine • Respectful • Organic • Loving • Relational • Transformative
Instead of evangelizing through a system that produces guilt and frustration, discover that as you look for the one, you become like the One — Jesus Himself. Begin looking for the one, and witness the simple power of the gospel breakthrough!
