Well worth your time November 22, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
There are so many books on the market right now on every topic. This one seems no different. It is hard to choose which books are worth your time. I was required to read this for a Christian Discipleship class in college. It completely changed my life. I have given it to friends and family. Many of them are busy people, but I give it to them with a promise, "This is worth every second you spend on it; this will change you life."
Oscar Thompson gives you a glimpse of the heart of God towards people. It is not another "method" to seek converts. He shows you how to effectively love people.
Read this book. It is worth every bit of your time and money. Evangelism starts in the heart of God. Be a person after His own heart.
New Paradigm For Evangelism September 29, 2000
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is helping change our church and the way we do outreach and evangelism. The author's premise is that we cannot reach the world for Christ if we are not reaching our families, friends or inner-circles first. If there are any broken relationships or "ruptured relationships" in a christian's life, then we are not able to go and share the gospel message honestly with anyone. It is a powerful book that is very blunt and sometimes slaps you in the face with the honesty and insight of the author.
Concentric Circles of Concern January 29, 2000

I read this book in school and I was blown away. The book made me think! It has radically changed the way I treat my family, neighbors, and those I may only meet once. This book also made me rethink ministry and do things 180 degrees differently. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn how to better deal with people, and who wants to grow in wisdom and sensitivity in the area of people skills. It will give you a passion for your life and ministry. As I teach others how to minister to people and how to tell others about Jesus, I use the principles in this book.
 Concentric Circles deals with prayer and Personal Evangelism December 9, 1998
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Concentric Circles of Concern serves not only as a method of evangelism it issues a challenge to all that read it. Making evangelism a component of each relationship of our lives is truly "an assignment that you cannot finish . . . until God takes you home." Thompson's process not only shows how to improve evangelism, it shows how to improve life and the lives of others.
A Must For Those Looking Into Intercessory Prayer September 22, 1998
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
If after reading this book your prayer life isn't affected you are blue and twitching on the ground, and breathing your last! Dr. Thompson does a comprehensive and Biblical job treating Intercessory Prayer interspersing each chapter with personal, practical experience. This is NOT a dry discourse, but a book filled with energy to change your life. It did mine!
