He knows he may wait for hours for a bite; he knows he may catch nothing. But he expects and hopes to catch something , and he comes ready to catch it. You can tell a true fisherman, said Phillip, because he always heads to his fishing spot with an old sack or a bucket to carry his catch home.
Christians are called to be fishers of men. And we fish in hope and optimism that God will give us opportunities to talk with people about the gospel of Jesus Christ—at work, at school, at home, over the back fence, after church with a newcomer, as we read the Bible one-to-one with someone, as we invite them to an evangelistic course at church, and so on.
The Christian Gospel is the little book that the optimistic Christian fisherman should always have with them, ready to follow up on the conversations and opportunities that we pray God gives us. It just explains the Christian message in six short chapters, using the six-point Two Ways to Live framework as a guide.
And like Two Ways to Live , it finishes with the challenge that the gospel brings and explains how to become a Christian. This makes it I hope and pray an ideal resource for a huge range of opportunities and occasions, like these:. No doubt you can think of many other uses, because the gospel is the centre of everything we do. It catches people and changes their lives. Product added to your basket.

You have a conversation with a work colleague that touches on the gospel—give them a copy of the book to move things along and provide an opportunity for further conversation. When you do some doorknocking in your local area perhaps in advance of Easter or Christmas , give everyone you speak to a copy of the book as a gift from your church. Tony Payne.
