Faith is For Weak People

How do you answer people when they ask, "If God is in control of the world, why does it seem to be so out of control?" Or, "Why does God allow evil?" Or, "Seeing is believing. Why do I need faith. Faith is for weak people?"

Ray Comfort knows how to answer these questions and he can show you in his new book, "Faith is For Weak People - Responding to the top 20 objections to the Gospel."

Comfort is an author and a producer of Christian TV programs and movies.  But what he does best is witness to others about Jesus.  He sometimes preaches from a soap box in a park or on the beach.  He takes on all comers and has probably dealt with every objection to Christianity that people have offered up.  In this book, he teaches how to deal with some of the most common questions people have, not because they are seeking answers, but to prove that their own ways and lives are good enough for God - that is if they even believe in God.

Keeping the conversation about Jesus is the most important thing, even when those you're witnessing to are tying to derail the conversation with one or more objections.  What I really appreciate about Comfort's approach is that his is a Law/Gospel presentation.  He makes the very wise point that telling someone that "Jesus loves you and died so that you might go to heaven," means nothing until a person know why this Jesus showed his love by taking on the sins of the world.  Leading a person to repentance and faith must take place and then that person is ready for sharing the good news about Jesus.

Reading this book just might give you the encouragement you need to begin engaging people and talking about Jesus.  Ray Comfort loves sharing Jesus with others.  He invites you to come along.
