Just Walk Across the Room’s author Bill Hybels’s conviction is that the highest value in personal evangelism is being attuned to and cooperative with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. This means walking when the Spirit says walk, talking when the Spirit says talk, and falling silent when the Spirit says listen.

Every Christian is to reflect Christ’s love and follow his example by taking simple walks across rooms—leaving our circle of comfort to extending care, compassion and inclusiveness to people living far from God. We are encouraged to “live in 3-D” to develop friendships, discover stories, and discern next steps—as a means of learning to understand the Spirit’s
