The Gospel CommissionThe Gospel Commission:
Recovering God’s Strategy for Making Disciples
By Michael Horton (Baker, 2011)

“Here again, it is important for us to recognize that personal evangelism is not primarily concerned with testifying to ourselves, but with testifying to Christ. There is nothing wrong with relating our Christian experience. In fact, it is often a good way into a conversation with an unbelieving friend or relative. However, it is a mere preamble to the gospel. The apostles and martyrs faced death not because they had a spiritual experience or because their marriages were stronger and they were better people now, but because of their testimony to Christ.” —Michael Horton, from the book
