When was the last time you shared your faith? If we’re being honest, it’s an awkward, challenging conversation. Christians know that we’re supposed to be sharing the gospel with the lost. Jesus gave us the Great Commission before he left, telling us to go and make disciples of all nations. But we still just . . . don’t do it. Why? Is evangelism dead? Here’s the good news: evangelism is the means by which Jesus promised to build his church, and Jesus will make good on his promises. In Resuscitating Evangelism father-son duo Jordan and Ernest Easley—both pastors and evangelists—share a biblical strategy for obeying Jesus and bringing new life to evangelism. As we bring new life to evangelism, we’ll see God bring new life to the lost all around us.
In the late nineties, Pastor Ernest Easley received difficult news from his doctor: a throat cancer diagnosis. This diagnosis would be enough to cause any individual to fear for one’s life and to worry about whether or not tomorrow would be seen. But for Pastor Easley, this diagnosis, though tragic, would be an opportunity to learn to rest in the Sovereignty of God. Now more than twenty years later, the cancer is gone, but the lingering effects of forty-four radiation treatments have left him with a withering voice. His doctors have said the damage that has been done may or may not ever heal. He will be a preacher who cannot preach. Yet, we still find a man whose trust and reliance upon God has allowed him to know that even if he cannot speak or preach about God, that does not mean that God has lost his sovereignty. He is still Lord. And even more so, Pastor Easley has Scripture to remind him that he is not the first who has had to come to terms with God’s sovereignty. In Resting in God’s Sovereignty, readers will find not only the wisdom of a seasoned pastor who has learned the goodness that comes from trusting the Lord, but they will also discover ten biblical figures who trusted in the Lord as well.
