A New Beginning presents a great book to show you how to easily share the gospel by Pastor Greg Lorry.

The book is called Tell Someone You Can Share the Good News.

And I wrote it with this thought in mind.

I acted as though I were sitting down with an individual and sharing truths I've learned about evangelism.

And it's something that is really important to me. And I want to share what I've learned with evangelism, and it's something that is really important to me,

and I want to share what I've learned with you in this book. Tell someone.

Yours for a gift of any amount at harvest.org.

that was put up by Campus Crusade for Christ. I was so new to all of this.

I hadn't even memorized the content of the little Bible track quite yet. And so I was looking

for someone to talk to about Jesus. And I saw this lady about the age of my mom sitting on the

beach by herself. And I thought, you know, maybe she'll listen to me. She'll be kind to me because I'm so young, you know, and I walked up, you have to understand, had long hair, I had hair to start with, had long hair at this point, and I walked up, my voice was shaking, I said, hi, do you mind if I talk to you a little bit about Jesus? And she said, no, go ahead. And I said, okay, and I sat down. And I just started reading the contents of this little track. The Four Spiritual Laws, copyright, 1995, for a campus. And I just turned to page one. God loves you, and there's a wonderful plan for your life. And I just started reading through this. And here's what I'm thinking as I'm reading.
