Why is it so hard to share the gospel?

In the past, missionaries who worked overseas environments had to use more complex approaches to witnessing than the average Christian in America. Why? Because they generally had to overcome truth mirages (false beliefs) that American Christians didn’t even have to think about. Unfortunately, in contemporary times, that has all changed. 

In the past, all we generally needed was to share the simple gospel message and offer people the opportunity to respond – most everyone at least understood what we were talking about. In today’s world, though, that is often not the case. Many people hold false, non-Christian, beliefs that have to be shattered before they are able to even understand our message, much less be willing to receive it. 

Religiously, we are a more diverse nation than we used to be, and exclusively using traditional approaches is often ineffective. We need to expand our skill set and learn to use the missionary’s toolbox.

Freddy and Tal have zeroed in on this need and have developed a methodology for Shattering the Truth Mirage in order to share an effective witness across every belief barrier.

REVIEWS

Delving beneath the mandate to serve as Christian witnesses lies the paralyzing fear of doing so. This uncomplicated and essential book takes the fear of testifying to others about the Good News of Christianity to a new and fearless level, providing a clear map for Christians to reach out to non-believers. The ultimate guide is for Christians to glorify God by presenting the Gospel to non-believers in such a way for them to at least consider receiving Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. This book goes to the heart of the matter for individuals to successfully reach out in Christian love. Although we have presented the Gospel for years this book takes our understanding of how to reach individuals to a new level with the knowledge of how differently people think today. I highly recommend this book to all Christians because every one of us is mandated to witness without fear and with the glory of God in mind. We can clearly understand how to do this through this book. The Appendices provide clear, succinct information to carry out the suggestions in this book. And, they provide more information to help us do so.
– Pam Ousley

The 21st century has brought new struggles to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Any direction you turn there is resistance to God’s truth. "Shattering the Truth Mirage (How To Share A Witness Across Worldview Barriers)" explains in detail how to share a witness with those that don’t have a Christian belief by explaining the difference in all worldview beliefs. The message and the appendices this book provide, makes it a great read and resource to any library.

Review of Shattering the Truth Mirage

As Christ followers, we are commanded to witness to all humanity. Most of us have just enough courage to hand out gospel tracts or go door to door handing out literature. This amazing book, gives us appropriate scripture and the techniques we need to boldly engage others through their worldview perspective. Because I have a loved one whose worldview has changed from Christianity to Far Eastern thought, "Shattering the Truth Mirage" is just what I needed to educate myself and to deepen my compassion for all mankind.

A well organized reference for today's Christian witness

I found "Shattering The Truth Mirage" to be an extremely useful guide to understanding the barriers to an effective sharing of the Gospel message. Lots of ground to cover but done in understandable language for a layman like me.

Faithful to prepare and confidence in leaving the results to God go hand-in-hand

Over the past 40 years, I have trained several thousand individuals to begin or move a conversation to the subject of the storyline of the Christian Bible. The resources I used have varied to help the Christian witness tell the story of their encounter with the gospel in a way that is relevant to individual they are talking with. New resources, like Shattering of the Truth Mirage, typically become available through the work of practitioners like Freddie Davis and Tal Davis. They are people who draw on the wealth of their experience to meet a need, and to answer questions of individuals who ask, "What do you do when...?" Tal and Freddie have brought a breadth of perspective to the development of this resource. It can used for study, or the gathering of information to assist those engaged in giving a personal witness of the gospel. Or, it can be a teaching resource for churches, colleges, and seminary settings. What did I like most about Shattering of the Truth Mirage? It is practical. It is personally useful. And, it is personally challenging.
