Review By: Cherie Hill, My Journey Of Faith blog

There could be no two better servants of God, than Lee Strobel and Mark Mittelberg, to teach us how to reach people with the message of Christ. They have chosen to share some of their most fantastic evangelistic experiences through, “The Unexpected Adventure.” What the authors show us is that this journey of faith will bring amazing “unexpected” encounters when we’re trusting in God to use our lives for His purposes.

With incredible transparency and subtle humor, the authors present a wide range of unexpected encounters throughout their lives that have brought lost souls to a place of surrender. The Great Commission is not to be taken lightly; it is our responsibility as Christians to be vessels of God. But too often, we get comfortable in our “religious” ways; reading our Bible, attending church, and serving in the community—we believe that surely that is enough to live a life of faith. We fail to take the extra step of evangelism because fear stands at our door. Lee Strobel and Mark Mittelberg use their experiences to show us that there are no boundaries to how God can use you in any given situation to bring the message of the Good News to those who are lost.

“The Unexpected Adventure” is not a book that you read cover to cover in a few sittings. It is truly a devotional type book and an incredible resource that provides even further resources within it to help you through your own adventure. This book filled me with conviction by the Holy Spirit that the time is now and I must do more to reach those who are lost with the message of Christ. “The Unexpected Adventure” has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and move to the front lines in my journey of faith. Strobel and Mittelberg show us that there’s nothing to fear, we’ve got “Spiritual back-up!” Through this book, you will learn that God is behind the scenes of your adventure with plans and purposes that reach far beyond all that you can dare to hope for or imagine!

Lee and Mark did a masterful job of re-igniting my personal responsibility to increase my boldness to share the greatest news on Earth. Reaching people for Christ is our mission and so The Unexpected Adventure is right up our alley.
