Why Would Anyone Follow Jesus?

As I lay here with a cat laying on my left arm and a dog resting under my right, I have a renewed hope that I’ll finally go out and evangelize as I should. Not only have the 12 chapters (and “Final Word”) of "Why Would Anyone Follow Jesus?: 12 Reasons to Trust What the Bible Says about Jesus" given me additional tools to do so, but Ray’s openness near the end is inspiring and encouraging:“At the best of times, I’m not excited to witness to the lost. In fact, I never have any joy when I’m about to share the gospel. Rather, I have a measure of controlled fear.”If what has been holding me back hasn’t held him back for 40 years, I can do this, and so can you. (By the way, he then goes on, “But I never fail to bubble with joy afterward…”)Who are the audiences for this book? Both the saved and the unsaved.- If you aren’t saved, you’ll be given ample reason to reconsider while not insulting your intelligence.- If you are a brother or sister in Christ, you’ll be reminded why you believe, be provided tools for reaching others, and get a kind, but pointed, reminder that if you truly believe what you claim, you have to stop ignoring the lost souls God is putting in your path.It is a relatively short book, enjoyable, and easy to digest. Reading Ray’s words are like listening to a caring, wise uncle. Regardless of whether you are a Christian or not it is worth your time. At worst, you have “lost” some hours of your life, this side of eternity. However, if Ray is right (and he is), you could…instead…gain eternal life on the other side.Final comment: I especially appreciated the Witness Encounters. At first, I thought they were “padding” the book, but quickly realized their tremendous value. If you don’t believe, they’ll help answer your objections. If you do, then they’ll provide invaluable insights on how to spread the gospel.Thank you Ray. To God be the glory.

Ray is a great evangelical teacher. This book provides several answers to why people need to follow Jesus, and gives strategies for sharing your faith.

I have read many of his books which I loved, but this one is magnificent, over the top, the best. Whatever you believe about Jesus, read this book. He explains the gospel and all Scriptue used in the book. His love for Christ just glows, and it's helping me to love Christ more, too.I greatly appreciate him saying we need to make our calling and election sure. There are so many people who believe they are Christians, but they are not. They are creating their own Gods and believing lies that they themselves have created. Are you Born Again? He explains what that means. This book is easy to read and understand. You will not regret buying this book!

I am excited to read this book but it has terrible formatting. The print is very small and has huge margins. I just saw another review from July so for at least 6 months these have been mailed out. It should come with a ebook option so it can actually be read without a magnifying glass.

This book was very insightful and well thought out. I always appreciate Ray Comforts wit and genuinessas and his humility as he is witnessing to others. His knowledge is incredible and as a student in his College for Biblical Evangelism this has really helped me to gain courage to witness to the lost. I am just now finishing up my courses and have already witnessed to two people who received gospel tracts and listened and recieved my message and were edified by the good news. Thanks Ray for writing this great book!

A wonderful book from the heart. I like the witnessing accounts after each chapter. Ray does ask us the hard questions. Questions we need to answer if we are serious about our faith and sharing Jesus with others.

This book has a lot of spiritual meat and great dialogue. It is practical and instructive. If you want to good examples on how to dialogue someone on the things of God - look here.

This book is excellent and I definitely recommend people read it. I really struggle with how the publisher actually printed the book though. The typeface is so small it's barely readable, and the margins are over 2 inches. Why not make the words bigger and the margin smaller?
