Description : Will Metzger's training manual on the message and methods of God-centered evangelism is now in its third edition!
This revised and expanded version of the original guide published in 1981 is written to address the concern that many Christians, entrusted with the gospel message, have forgotten the message and their responsibility to accurately convey it.
The recovery of a God-centered and grace-centered gospel is imperative, says Will Metzger. In the third edition of his critically-acclaimed training manual he expands on the topics of grace and worship. And he emphasizes the centrality of sovereign, saving grace that completely exalts God. In addition, he offers a narrative approach to witnessing with the story "Come Home," training materials for Christians who want to learn God-centered evangelism, and a study guide on evangelism suitable for individuals or groups.
More than ever,
Tell the Truth is ready to serve the church as a comprehensive, accessible and effective guide to God-centered evangelism.

"A very good book just got better. Twenty years ago Tell the Truth
moved us so deeply that we brought Will Metzger to our church for a seminar on glad-hearted, God-centered evangelism. Now updated and with powerful new sections on sovereign grace and whole-souled worship, 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, 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. Such nice, uncoverted 'Christians' have lost the gospel. This probing book presents the key to evangelism in the power of grace, the sovereign grace of the gospel. Salvation is the Lord's work, accomplished by his Spirit for his glory. Awe, freedom and delight in the Lord are its fruit." Dr. Edmund P. Clowney, author, former president, Westminster Theological Seminary (PA)
"An outstanding tool for those who long to reach their campus or community with the gospel of grace." Dr. David G. Sinclair Sr., former campus minister and senior pastor
"This new edition has made a good book even better. You must have it!" Rev. Ernie Reisinger, Southern Baptist pastor, evangelist and author
"This is one of the best and most useful books on evangelism for ordinary Christians. Will Metzger has drawn upon a lifetime of personal ministry to write a biblically based, theologically sound, practically relevant book on how to share the gospel. 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 minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church
On the 2nd edition: "We recommend it to everyone who asks for practical help in personal evangelism." r. 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 nonmanipulative, 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
