Evangelism That Works by George Barna is a book that outlines five dominant approaches to personal evangelism, emphasizing that lifestyle or friendship evangelism is the most common method, used by 79% of laity. The book’s core strategy is the 2-3-1 Paradigm, which relies on two principles: that evangelism is a process and that God is responsible for the results.
To overcome the three major barriers seekers face, the book provides a plan focused on one person at a time:
The Emotional Barrier: Negative feelings from bad experiences with believers, addressed by building positive views and common ground.
The Intellectual Barrier: Disregard based on misconceptions or bad information, addressed by providing helpful answers and resources.
The Volitional Barrier: Resistance rooted in independence or pride, addressed through persistent prayer and faithfulness rather than force.
