"Witness offers the church an opportunity to explore deeply the Christian faith in ways that encourage the sharing of faith with others. Discover the richness of the journey of faith that is explored and practiced in the company of others, including those who have never heard the message of the gospel." Karen Greenwaldt
"As a student in the Witness: Exploring and Sharing Your Faith study, I find that it is well worth the time invested. With a daily Scripture to read and then comment on in my own personal journal, I do explore my own faith. It is a learning experience; and at the same time, it gives me the information needed to share with someone else as I have the opportunity to witness to what God is doing in my own life and what God can do in their lives.
"With my weekly homework assignment, I am asked each week to do some small task that helps me begin to talk with others about God in a nonthreatening way. Looking back, these assignments build on one another to help me become a more effective witness for God." Clay Bauserman
"I just received my copy of the Witness curriculum. I didn't get much sleep last night as I couldn't put it down! It is fantastic! I want to congratulate the Foundation for Evangelism and Dr. Crandall for teaming up with the General Board of Discipleship to create this tremendous resource for people and their local churches. My first impression is that it is a great 'next step' for those who complete Faith-Sharing. It surely does offer a lot of 'meat and potatoes' information for the person ready to move beyond the 'milk and oatmeal' basics of witnessing. That's great! The format is engaging and flows smoothly. I go back to the thing that impressed me the most: the contents are dynamic!" Bruce Tuttle
"I am grateful that The Foundation for Evangelism and the General Board of Discipleship have worked together in producing this inspiring resource. I urge its use in every local church — with the prayer that a new culture for evangelism will emerge in The United Methodist Church." Richard C. Looney
"The 25-week small-group study resource entitled Witness has the potential to bring about revival to the local church of a witnessing congregation. The faith journey on the Witness trail can help The United Methodist Church to reclaim the local congregation as the primary agent of evangelical witness. A faithful and effective ministry of evangelism will be the result." Paul R. Ervin, Jr.
"This study looks to be an excellent tool to help people understand that evangelism is more than something we do. It is a way of life. This study leads people through the process of creating a culture of genuine faith sharing. Faith sharing is not something we do; rather, it is who we are. Ron Crandall does an excellent job of taking us on a journey that brings us to a new confidence level in evangelism." Phillip Connolly
"I have read Witness: Exploring and Sharing Your Christian Faith. When I read the Acts of the Apostles, I read of a community of faith whose witness was confident and contagious . . . it was a part of who they were! It was in their genes! Across the church, we yearn for that same confident and contagious witness today. Witness: Exploring and Sharing Your Christian Faith is the best resource I have seen that can help a spiritual leader reintroduce the gene of a confident and contagious witness into a local community of faith. ĘThe result can be a community of faith in which the sharing of faith comes naturally. I highly recommend this resource." The Rev. Dr. Jeffrey E. Greenway
