Congratulations on making the decision to be a soul‑winner for our Lord Jesus Christ. The time and energy spent studying this book will repay itself may times over in your personal soul winning and for all eternity. You will quickly discover that there are really only a few basic questions stated a great number of ways. Don't be intimidated by the size or amount of material. It's really pretty simple. Getting started is the hardest part. It quickly will all fall together and you will be a confident soul winner.

The real POWER in soul winning is in the Word of God. Be sure to use the scriptures as your primary focus. The additional material is to keep the conversation going and to point out what the Scriptures say.

Each chapter of the workbook corresponds with that same chapter in THE SOUL WINNERS GUIDE. Each Chapter is broken down into 6 sections:

1.POSSIBLE RATIONALE BEHIND EXCUSE

Like a doctor tries to discover what is wrong with a patient before he suggests a cure this section suggests what the person may be thinking when he offers this excuse. This is helpful to know when you begin the transition to the salvation presentation.

2.OTHER EXCUSES THAT ARE SIMILAR OR RELATED

When you begin to see the similarity of the excuses you will be able to remember the key scriptures and feel a confidence that you can be an effective soul winner without memorizing the whole Bible. It makes it easier to get started and with a little practice it helps you to make a quicker diagnosis of where the persons real point of need is.

3.TRANSITION TO SALVATION PRESENTATION

These are suggested questions you can ask that will guide the prospective believer to The Word, help him see his excuse for what it is, and guide him to salvation.

4.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
