Jesus at the Door: Evangelism Made Easy By Scott McNamara Book Review




In Jesus at the Door, Scott McNamara explored the topic of evangelism and how to have the boldness and fearlessness to approach strangers and to tell them about Jesus. He explained the message behind Jesus at the door and how it begins with a picture of Jesus knocking the door with no outer key knob. This is displayed to show that we have to choose to let Jesus inside our hearts. It is drawn on the back of a card and on the front, it contains nine key points and it is divided into three categories: explain, respond, and prayer. They are also color specific in order to explain the redemption found in Christ. The card discussed the debt that Jesus paid for our sins and how He wrote us a check with His own blood and how He took care of our sins. He shared how we can turn from our ways and receive the gift Christ died for us to have. He also went into detail about how the Holy Spirit led Him into seeing people like fallen apples and when we share the good news with them and he will shake them. Throughout the book, he revealed how the nine steps to salvation led him into reaching out to others and leading them to Christ. He enclosed countless stories from people he helped to lead to Christ. 

 

 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is curious on how they can become better evangelist and they are ready to be courageous on leading strangers to Christ. I immensely enjoyed how he included some tips on reaching others to Christ. I also found it interesting on how he shared how he personally gets their phone number or social media account to follow up with people that he leads to Christ, where he can still encourage them on their walk with Christ. This in turn has also led to them leading more people to Christ like a domino effect. One of my favorites stories was one he shared about a trip to Walmart and met Kyle, a big guy with tattoos. He reached out to him to try and led him to Christ and he refused. He added him on Facebook and then Kyle deleted him. Later on, his wife reached out to Scott and they needed serious help. Kyle hit his wife when he was drunk and SWAT was called out and he had a gun in his hand. Kyle reminded hearing a voice that told him to put down the gun. After this event, they both changed their lives around after receiving Christ and became sober and they in turn led others to Christ afterwards. I liked the concept of the card and how it contained helpful questions to get unbelievers into thinking about redemption found in Christ.
