Tell the Truth (Book reviews)


By Will Metzger

"A very good book just got better. This book soars with a fresh passion for the supremacy of God in truth-driven evangelism. May God use it to move thousands to make much of Christ among the perishing."
John Piper, senior pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, and author of Desiring God

"Will Metzger writes Tell the Truth for a reformation of personal evangelism. He laments the evangelism that encourages nice people to be nice to others, in the hope that they will be nice to God. This probing book presents the key to evangelism in the power of grace, the sovereign grace of the gospel."
Edmund P. Clowney, former president, Westminster Theological Seminary

" Tell the Truth has long been a personal favorite of mine and required reading in my evangelism classes. Metzger cuts through much of the theological confusion surrounding evangelism and the gospel message and sets forth biblical and practical wisdom in an easily understood and applied manner."
Timothy Beougher, Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

"An outstanding tool for those who long to reach their campus or community with the gospel of grace."
David G. Sinclair Sr., pastor, Lexington Presbyterian Church (PCA), Lexington, South Carolina, and former campus minister

"This new edition has made a good book even better You must have it!"
Ernie Reisinger, Southern Baptist pastor, evangelist and author

"This is one of the best and most useful books on evangelism for ordinary Christians. Tell the Truth will help you--yes, even you!--learn how to develop an evangelistic way of life. Instead of relying on manipulative, man-centered methods of evangelism, Metzger explains how to introduce people to Jesus Christ in a way that glorifies God."
Philip Graham Ryken, senior pastor, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia

"We recommend it to everyone who asks for practical help in personal evangelism."
John MacArthur Jr., senior pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California

"Christianity is for sharing, and Christians who love their neighbor want to do that persuasively. Pizzazz-free and non manipulative, Metzger's training manual on helping people to care about truth and face the truth about Jesus is first class of its kind."
J. I. Packer, Board of Governors Professor of Theology, Regent College, and author of Knowing God
