"A Review by RD Hodges" according to Matthew McDill. For many years a number of special friends prayed for me and invited me to church. I was lost and living life in the center of the culture. These friends often told me about what Jesus meant to them and on occasion I would go to their church. I listened to them and visited their church just because they were my friends. One day as I drove through a traffic light, I asked Christ into my life. On one side of that light, I was completely lost.

Great evangelism method James T. Brackett Making Friends for Christ is a refreshing and concise approach to evangelism. I am a member of a local church that encourages this type of relationship which could result in salvation for the lost. I personally have never been what is referred to as a "soul winner", maybe a sower at best, but the ideas put forth in this volume sound very logical and seem to be the way Jesus would have done it.
