The most common methods of evangelism are tailor-made for extroverts. But what about the rest of us? Other Christians, including introverted, reflective people, are left with feelings of guilt and fear and the desire to become more outgoing. The problem, says Mike Bechtle, is not their personality, but that they've been taught methods of evangelism that push them too far out of their comfort zone. In Evangelism for the Rest of Us, Bechtle shows readers how to share their faith in more comfortable ways by helping them discover and define their unique strengths within their personality type. With fresh, biblical insight, this much-needed resource renews a passion for sharing Christ with others, because telling the Good News does not have to be so intimidating.

The title is a bit misleading; the book is really about evangelism styles for the introverted. Those who are extroverts would do well to consider the book also in light of how they treat and work with those who might be introverted both within the body of Christ and those without.
The author discusses, through his own path and experiences, the challenges he encountered in attempting to evangelize according to the "playbook" he was given. He came to recognize that much of what passes for evangelism strategy is tilted towards those who are naturally extroverted.
He does not seek to reject such methods for those for whom it works, but he points a way forward for those who are a bit more introverted to find ways to witness for Christ through writing, through the cultivation of relationships, and to ascertain how one's particular skills and strengths can be best used to advance the Kingdom. He points out that introverts might notice things others might miss, may prove more reflective and provide great counsel, and their contributions should not be minimized just because they do not reflect the strengths of the extroverted.
I find myself split on the extroverted/introverted spectrum but much of what the author says resonates with my perspective and approach. It was nice to be affirmed for what I am and not expected to become something I am not. ( )
