My Review: 

 Words have a big impact on how we live our lives. They either give confidence and love, or discouragement and uncertainty, and this is a big theme in Joanna Davidson Politano's latest novel.

My Review: 

I got this book because witnessing is something I really struggle with. I'm an introvert; talking at all is hard for me! I thought it would be interesting to see what insights Ray Comfort could provide. 

Before I say anything, I just want to acknowledge that I realize Ray Comfort obviously has a lot more experience than I do. I mean, basically anytime he steps out of his yard, he's armed with gospel tracts and looking for someone to share them with. I, on the other hand, can relate a lot with Moses- I let other people do the talking for me. 

However, I struggled with agreeing with all he said. 

While we definitely do need to present people with the reality that we're all sinners, that if you're not a Christian you really are going to die and go to hell, good works can't save you, it would offend and draw my non-believing friends away if I started off a conversation with that. Love and tact need to be drawn into it as well- we can't be rude about this. 

Also, while I definitely want to approach more people with the gospel (lives are at stake here!), Ray Comfort's admonishment that we should do it every time we're out among people bothers me. He has an advantage over the rest of us: his youtube channel. Anytime he wants to present the good news to someone, all he has to do is interview them. I, on the other hand, will struggle a lot more with approaching random strangers on the streets for apparently no reason. 

I will say I found the two middle chapters inspiring, I just struggled with the rest. And I wanted to hear the opinion of Mr. Comfort more- anytime he wanted to make a point, he used a quote by another author. 

While I respect Ray Comfort and like him as a person, I just found he and I don't agree on everything, and that's okay.
