Overflow, by Michael Reeves

In his classic, deep, understandable writing style, Michael Reeves brings the theology of his book Delighting in the Trinity into a missional focus. Reeves offers us the best fuel for evangelism: the reality of who our Triune God is! Or as he puts it, “How the Joy of the Trinity Inspires Our Mission.”

Christianity Explored, by Rico Tice & Barry Cooper

This book is marvelous. On every page, Rico points to Christ, keeps our noses in Scripture, and wins his readers’ hearts over with compassion and conviction. He leaves no issue untouched, writing with tremendous with clarity on the hardest truths in the Gospel message. My only regret that it is hard to find a sensibly priced paperback copy; but it is still reasonably priced on Kindle.

What is the Gospel? by Greg Gilbert

Greg Gilbert does a good job communicating the Gospel, incorporating lots of Scripture into this short book. Though he is not as Trinitarian as one would have hoped, he has clarified certain doctrines that the other books in this list, perhaps, left somewhat overlooked.

How to Have Impossible Conversations, by Peter Boghossian & James Lindsay

This is the first book on this list written by two non-Christians (an atheist/agnostic and a homosexual). Yet, this book (and the two men themselves) have proven their worth and conviction. I tried in vain to find a Biblically faithful book that was specifically geared to evangelize those taken captive by Critical Theory (a method to “evangelize the woke,” one might say). There are great Christian books addressing Critical Theory from a Christain perspective (see this and this), but nothing evangelistic. If you want to have conversations with people impossible to talk to, buy this book, inject grace + Scripture as out sole and total authority, and go take impossible people to Jesus.

As a Christian counterbalance to this book, listen to this sermon by Alistair Begg.
