Honest Evangelism: How to talk about Jesus even when it's tough
Hostility and hunger that's the response to the message of Jesus. The first is painful, the second is wonderful, and Rico Tice is honest about both.
Short, clear, realistic and humorous, this book will challenge you to be honest in your conversations about Jesus, help you to know how to talk about him, and thrill you that God can and will use ordinary people to change eternal destinies.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Rico Tice writes from the Christian trenches to give us a book that is realistic about witnessing, gives us reasons to keep at it, and offers us the resources to use. This book will help the church stop copying, and start helping, the world.”
Simon Manchester
Rector of St Thomas, North Sydney, Australia
“Rico is one of the clearest and most faithful evangelists alive today, and no one is in a better position to write a book like this for cultures where the good news sounds remote and increasingly encounters hostility. I cant wait to use it.”
Michael Horton
Professor of Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary, California; author of Ordinary

“If we are honest, none of us find evangelism easy and we make a lot of excuses. This down-to-earth, practical book provides us with useful tools to help us overcome our fear.”
Steve Clifford
General Director of the Evangelical Alliance, UK
“I read this through in one sittingit is realistic, challenging and wonderfully helpful. I am anxious to get this book into the hands of my congregation.”
Alistair Begg
Founder of Truth for Life
“In a polarised culture where Christian convictions are not in good odour, where are courage and joy in Christian witness to be found? What does Christian witness look likeboth in the hard times when the mockery becomes savage, and in the good times when people are transformed by the gospel? This book, more than others in this genre, tells it like it is, and thus prepares believers to be faithful followers of Jesus, in the long train of prophets who faced ridicule long before we did (Matthew 5 v 10-12). This book thus stands as one of the encouraging markers of our day, a book that doesnt minimize the challenges, but directs us to Christ and his gospel to teach us to be overcomers.”
D.A. Carson
Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Wheaton; President of The Gospel Coalition
