TELL
Dr. Pierson's second book, TELL is written to help individuals and local churches develop skills for sharing their faith in our contemporary society. The book provides an outline of techniques that will work today in our often times very secular environment.
The book talks about how both the individual shares his or her faith with others and how the local church can help its members in witnessing about Christ.
Cost is $15, which includes shipping. Please email for more information or to purchase.
This new 10 week program uses the concepts of both the Needs-Based Evangelism: the Good-Samaritan Church and Tell to help congregations reach new people for Christ in a way that works. This program works for churches of all sizes. It ALWAYS works if it is done right. It is built upon the principals clearly taught by Jesus.
The program will positively change your church's ability to be effective in evangelism. It can be put into operation as a ten week emphasis for the fall or Lent. Along with the materials, Dr. Pierson is offering personal consulting and direction for a local church that is participating.
The manual is just published. It is available for $15. If you want copies of Needs-Based Evangelism and Tell, all three books are available for $40 – shipping is free. Order today!!
For more information on having Dr. Pierson consult or teach at your church please email.
