What if you knew that by simply crossing the room and saying hello to someone, you could change that personâ€™s forever? Just a few steps to make an eternal difference. It has nothing to do with methods and everything to do with taking a genuine interest in another human being. All you need is a heart thatâ€™s in tune with the Holy Spirit and a willingness to venture out of your â€œCircle of Comfortâ€ and into another personâ€™s life. Just Walk Across the Room brings personal evangelism into the twenty-first century. Building on the solid foundation laid in Becoming a Contagious Christian, Bill Hybels shows how you can participate in the model first set by Jesus, who stepped down from heaven 2,000 years ago to bring hope and redemption to broken people living in a fallen world. Now itâ€™s your turn. Your journey may not be as dramatic, but it can have a life-changing impact for someone standing a few steps away from youâ€”and for you as well, as you learn the power of extending care, compassion, and inclusiveness under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The highest value in personal evangelism is cooperating with the Spirit, says Hybels. This means playing only the role youâ€™re meant to playâ€”walking when the Spirit says to walk, talking when he says to talk, and falling silent when he suggests that youâ€™ve said enough. Hybels encourages you to â€œlive in 3Dâ€ â€¦ Developing friendships Discovering stories Discerning appropriate next steps â€¦ as a means of learning to understand the Holy Spiritâ€™s promptings. With fresh perspectives from his own reflections and experiences collected during his most recent decade of ministry, Bill Hybels shows with convincing and inspiring clarity the power of this personal, richly relational approach to evangelism. The stakes are high. The implications are eternal. And you may be only a conversation away from having an eternal impact on someoneâ€™s lifeâ€”if you will just walk across the room.
