Makes you think - By: Mr. Alastair Gooderham, 24 Jun 2008 
Bill Hybels has yet again written a very provocative & engaging book. Hybels premise is that we need as Christians to be leaving our circle of ease & stepping outin faith to build relationships with those around us. Recognising that as we have chance encounters, or build longer term relationships Jesus will be seenin our actions & our words. It is refreshing to be encouraged to simply listen to the Holy Spirits promptings & engage with people, especially as we hear of the perils, loneliness & isolation of the facebook generation.
The chapter giving overviews of different ways of sharing the gospel is very helpful as is his call to learn & train ourselves to listen & appropriately share our story of faith with people who ask.
This book is engaging & encourages us to be building relationships with those we come across out of our comfort zone on the basis that it is what Jesus did. It also avoids the here is 'the 7 step approach' that we know just won't fit my life & personality.
Biggest challenge of the book for me is throwing 'Matthew Parties', just as Levi did on being saved. Where our friends all rub shoulders. A great book to read be challenged & then challenge others with.
