 two thumbs up... July 21, 2008
... for J.F. Foster's review, not this book!
Thankfully, I snagged a copy at a thrift store for less than a dollar. I skimmed through and promptly threw it away. There's nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary in this book - live what you believe. People smell a hypocrite a mile away!
I agree 100% with Foster's review, though I couldn't conceive of giving the book four stars simply because there are much better resources available.
My top resource for practical guidance on sharing the gospel is The Way of the Master with Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. Nothing watered down here - very direct application of the Gospel in the manner of Jesus Christ and His apostles.
My second recommended resource is Share Jesus Without Fear. Very practical and many more examples than Hybels' book. The author comes across a bit too cocky at times (in his "soul-winning" ability) but, overall, the book is good and offers many great ideas.
"Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22:36-40
 Great read March 31, 2008
Hybles down to earth plain talk and "relateable life stories" hit at the heart of Biblical evangelism. I read Just Walk Across the Room... (without question the most balanced and motivating book on evangelism I have ever read!)... Becoming a Contagious Christian should have been read first but both books are foundational instructional guidance to the freshly 'born again' as well as the "veteran" who needs a shot of encouragement. I'll be using this material in our church for a long time to come! Pastor Larry Kuhl

Good information for Christian's wishing to make a difference. I would also recommend the video and workbook for small group studies.

Becoming a Contagious Christian is a welcome study on lifestyle evangelism! This book that does not put everyone into a cookie cutter mold. The authors present six very different styles of evangelism. Readers will learn that they can communicate their faith in a style that fits them. They do not have to be Billy Graham or anyone else. They can be a first rate version of themselves, as God designed them to be! This is a very freeing book!

This book is fantastic...or maybe the timing for me to read this has come to be and I just about ate it up. Every Christian should be mandated to read this book. By the end of the book, I had marked so many words in yellow to remember. Go out and buy this book. You will not be sorry. It is just the tool you need to give you your breath of fresh excitement!
