The questions in Chapter 4 of Share Jesus Without Fear by William Fay are like “spiritual thermometers” which are used to determine how active God is in a person’s life. The five questions act together to “funnel” a person to the point where you have permission to share God’s Word. Two neat object lesson ideas. Right?
Chapter 5 conveys the idea that we must allow the Bible to speak for itself. Trust the Holy Spirit to work in the life of the reader. Fay suggests a simple strategy, have the person, “Read a Scripture verse aloud,” and then ask, “What does this mean to you?” In case you get an unsatisfactory response, do not personally defend or explain the Word, simply ask the person to “Read it again.” When you get the right response, move to the next verse in the series he suggests.
His statement that our big thick Bible looks like a “cannon” to non-believers made me laugh. He recommends using a “Derringer”, a smaller Bible such as the one printed by Broadman & Holman.
