The one thing you can't do in heaven is share your faith with a nonbeliever. Mark Cahill's book is written to inspire believers to be faithful in sharing their faith at every opportunity.

The Good

Mark Cahill uses Scripture to show that sharing one's faith is not optional for a believer.
Cahill explains why it's not enough to live a Spirit-filled life and expect that to be a sufficient testimony. It's not. Nobody will hear about the seriousness of sin, the Law, and the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ unless you use words to tell them.
Cahill explains the importance of using the Law to bring sinners to the point of conviction.
Cahill gives a lot of practical ideas about how to steer a conversation to spiritual matters.

The Bad

Mark Cahill talks too much about celebrities that he's shared the gospel with. Yes, celebrities need the gospel too. No, a Christian shouldn't use them as illustrations in order to sell a book. It shows a lack of respect. Further, it doesn't inspire the average person to share his faith. All it does is make Cahill look like a bigshot.
The Scripture quotations are in a centuries-old, obtuse translation. I'm speaking of the King James Version.
