Product Description
Synopsis
What if you knew that by simply crossing the room and saying hello to someone, you could change that person 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 that's in tune with the Holy Spirit and a willingness to venture out of your "Circle of Comfort" and into another person'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 it'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 you - 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 you're meant to play - walking when the Spirit says to walk, talking when he says to talk, and falling silent when he suggests that you've said enough. Hybels encourages you to "live in 3D"...developing friendships, discovering stories, discerning appropriate next steps...as a means of learning to understand the Holy Spirit'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 someone's life - if you will just walk across the room.

Bill Hybels has yet again written a very provocative and engaging book. Hybels premise is that we need as Christians to be leaving our circle of ease and stepping out in faith to build relationships with those around us. Recognising that as we have chance encounters, or build longer term relationships Jesus will be seen in our actions and our words. It is refreshing to be encouraged to simply listen to the Holy Spirits promptings and engage with people, especially as we hear of the perils, loneliness and isolation of the facebook generation.
The chapter giving overviews of different ways of sharing the gospel is very helpful as is his call to learn and train ourselves to listen and appropriately share our story of faith with people who ask.
This book is engaging and encourages us to be building relationships with those we come across out of our comfort zone on the basis that it is what Jesus did. It also avoids the here is 'the 7 step approach' that we know just won't fit my life and personality.
Biggest challenge of the book for me is throwing 'Matthew Parties', just as Levi did on being saved. Where our friends all rub shoulders. A great book to read be challenged and then challenge others with.

We used Just Walk Across the Room for our Lent Study Group along with the DVD and workbook. Bill Hybels is memorable, as he uses this way of getting to know people he seems to be able to find the right words to diffuse any situation. We were particularly impressed by his patience and perseverance-no quick fixes for him. it's all about growing relationships. The hospitality shown is a real challenge to us, the only trouble is we can't compete with the Californian climate!
Bill can't help but show his emotions and this certainly helps us to identify with him and the peole he holds dear.There was some good practical advice and as an add on we all got to write our personal witness on a post-it.
