About this ebook
Sharing your faith doesn’t have to be complicated.
Christians are called to be a witness for Christ in daily life, to surprise people around us with the good news of the gospel. Yet putting that mission into regular practice can seem overwhelming. Author Michael Frost, a renowned expert on evangelism, offers refreshingly simple tactics to make evangelism fulfilling, exciting, and effective.
Surprise the World teaches clear and practical tools for making evangelism part of your daily life. This short and easy read covers the BELLS method, along with thought-provoking questions and prompts for applying each habit. You’ll learn about each of the five habits:
“A timely wake-up call for believers. A concise and helpful encouragement to those seeking to live on-mission in their communities.” —Ed Stetzer, author and pastor
“Eminently doable, entirely practical, and exceptionally effective!” —Felicity Dale, author of An Army of Ordinary People
“If every believer developed a lifestyle that included these 5 habits, I’m convinced a great spiritual awakening would take place.” —Al Engler, mission director of Nav Neighbor

A very helpful and short (in a good way) summary of Frost's "BELLS" habits. These missional habits will help Christians as individuals and faith communities engage with their communities in faith-filled ways. What was particularly helpful was the fact that these weren't just "active" disciplines. Included were what might traditionally be called "spiritual" disciplines - listening to the Spirit and learning about Christ. Including these two disciplines, in particular, really connected them with the more "active" disciplines (blessing three people, eating with neighbours). I'd recommend this for both individual reading and group study. It's more than a church program, this is about developing life-long missional habits for the sake of the kingdom of God.
