Review Quotes

"Out of the Saltshaker and Into the World is a timeless classic and one of the very few books that have energized me personally toward evangelism. Becky's joyous and determined persona comes through on every page of this celebrated book, a book that should be read and reread by those investing in spreading the love of Christ through personal witness."

"Out of the Saltshaker helped generations of fearful students (and other would-be evangelists) to loosen up."

"As Christians, every Christmas we happily buy devotional books. Why? Because devotional books are safe. We read them in private for our own edification. But Christians don't buy as many books on evangelism. Why? Because books on evangelism are dangerous. They're only going to ask us to be public about our faith. And there's nothing scarier than that! But fear no more. Because this wonderful new edition of Out of the Saltshaker and Into the World will inspire you. It will get you excited about the good news of Jesus. It will get you relying on God's power-especially through the Holy Spirit-and not yours to tell your friends about Jesus. And most importantly, you will realize that it's more about being evangelistic than a method of evangelism."

"Becky Manley Pippert has given her life to giving people the confidence to speak about Jesus. How does she do it? First and foremost, she's absolutely thrilled about Jesus, and he is the message. Then she models the fact that the sovereign Lord loves to organize encounters with lost people, and the Spirit loves to illumine their hearts . . . wonderful! But Becky is not naive; she understands our guilty silence and helps us practice the presence of Christ as we seek to overcome our fears and discover what it means to live and speak for Jesus."

"We evangelists spend the majority of our lives passionately sharing the good news. Yet also, as part of God's calling, we spend a significant amount of time urging God's people to faith and action in the work of soul winning-compelling others to know their calling as a follower of Christ and to testify to his goodness, just as an evangelist's job is described in Ephesians 4. And still, as saturated as I am in this joyful work, I am refreshed and inspired by the clarifying and compelling way in which Rebecca Manley Pippert shares about the importance and practicality of evangelism as a way of life. It's like a fresh start for me, a new motivation, an energy reset. She is preparing all of us for our works of service. To have this important resource updated and enhanced, as it is now, will be an encouragement and blessing, helping each one carry on with the good news in this generation for which we are responsible."
