I am excited to share the words of three men I admire and who are strong leaders within the Southern Baptist Convention. All three are mighty oaks when it comes to being evangelists for the Kingdom of Christ. Each have shared words of encouragement and also endorsed the Book/Bible Study that the Lord has laid on my heart. I just wanted to share with my facebook friends and family, thanks for your time. Reverend Henry Maxwell asked himself, “What would Jesus do?” in Charles Sheldon’s classic In His Steps. In What Jesus Did evangelist David Soesbee moves readers beyond asking speculative questions of what things Jesus would or would not do to examining what Jesus actually did—evangelism! Teeming with testimonies and saturated with Scripture, Soesbee has written a Bible study that will encourage believers and churches alike to emulate not only what Jesus did, but how Jesus did evangelism. —MATT QUEEN, L. R. Scarborough Chair of Evangelism (“The Chair of Fire”), Assistant Professor of Evangelism, Associate Dean for Doctoral Programs, Roy Fish School of Evangelism and Missions, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas --------- It may sound shallow, but for me the real gem in this book is the introduction. We live in a narrative culture and the testimony that David shares-authentic and raw-is the reason that the rest of the book makes sense. While a testimony of bad behavior to redemption is not everybodys story, it is a compelling reminder that evangelism is a conversation not a program. The principles of evangelism come alive because of the stories throughout that keep the book grounded. -Dr. R. Allen Jackson New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary ----------- We serve a God who is in the business of saving people. Through his book, What Jesus Did, David Soesbee equips the reader to go out boldly into the world and get about the business of sharing with the lost. When you lead someone to the Lord, you dont know the great things God has planned for that life. Davids passion for evangelism and his 20-plus years of experience in preaching have cumulated into this teaching, which will not only prepare you with practical skills, but will also move you to have a passion for the lost. The church needs more people who are deeply in love with Jesus and are willing to put themselves on the line to share the good news of what Jesus did. - Dr. Johnny M. Hunt, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Woodstock, Georgia / President, Southern Baptist Convention 2008-2009
