Publisher's Description
Fulfill One of Your Deepest Longings Every follower of Jesus has a sincere desire to share God's love with others. We want to tell friends and family about who Jesus is, what he means to us, and all he has done for them. Deep in our hearts we have a burning passion to pass on the good news we have received. But, where do we start? We want to share our faith, but we don't want it to feel awkward, uncomfortable, or unnatural for them or for us! Organic Outreach for Ordinary People will help you shape a personal approach to passing on the good news of Jesus in natural ways. This is not a system or a program. It's a collection of biblical practices that you can incorporate into your life starting today. You can begin right where God has placed you. You can share the love and message of Jesus in a way that fits exactly how God has wired you. In this practical and easy-to-read book, Kevin Harney offers the tools needed to reach out with God's love in organic ways. In these pages you will discover that sharing the good news of Jesus can be as natural as talking about your favorite sports team or telling a friend about a wonderful new restaurant. On the golf course, over coffee, while taking a walk - anywhere and everywhere - become a bearer of grace. Share the amazing love of God. Tell the life-changing story of Jesus. Discover ordinary ways to communicate God's love and the message of salvation - naturally.

“Kevin Harney has written a winner — refreshing, engaging, practical, and powerful! Kevin has given us an everyday approach to loving and reaching people for Christ, while also helping us to enjoy the process.”
“God spoke pointedly to my life when reading this inspiring book. It is refreshing to see a very practical book that is solidly grounded in Scripture. While being loaded with practical helps, it refrains from presenting a canned or stereotypical model of witness that everyone should follow. Instead, we see different ways of outreach, which individuals could adopt according to their differing personalities, gifts, and circumstances. This book is unique in being amazingly comprehensive, covering many issues that other books on witness miss out on. Clearly, it is the work of a practitioner.”
“Every person you meet is an eternal soul. That reality alone underscores the tremendous value of a book like this. Organic Outreach for Ordinary People will equip any believer to share their faith in effective and natural ways. Kevin presents practical illustrations to communicate with all kinds of people and in all kinds of situations. Reading this book will truly encourage you to raise your evangelistic temperature and passionately pursue that which causes angels to sing — even if you don’t have the “gift of evangelism.”
“When Kevin Harney writes about evangelism, I want to read and learn. Kevin is not just writing about this theoretically; he’s been doing it for years. Kevin removes the guilt and the awkwardness of evangelism and shows us natural ways to express the good news of Jesus with people all around us. Your heart will grow for people as a result of reading this book.”
“Personal evangelism is not your thing? You don’t have the spiritual gift? The whole idea of sharing your faith seems intimidating and unnatural? Perfect — this book was written for you! Read it, and with every page you’ll be more encouraged and equipped to talk to others—in natural ways — about the things that matter most.”
“love and good news.” Practical, well illustrated, and biblical, this is a great tool to help prepare ordinary Christians to share the extraordinary message of Jesus.”
“As a leader, evangelist, and pastor, my heart always aches for the lost, particularly in my country. I wondered how I could overcome the strong cultural and religious values and convictions in our context and present the gospel in a more natural and nonthreatening manner. The Organic Outreach series has provided me and our church an interesting and effective perspective. Thank you.”
