If you want to sell vacuum cleaners door to door, then I recommend this book. If you want to witness and preach the gospel to people, then only get this book if you want to know what not to do. Leading someone down the Romans' Road and getting them to pray a prayer has nothing to do with salvation.

Hyles' method literally tricks people into repeating a prayer so he can mark them down and increase his numbers. For proof of this, just read the section where he talks about Romans 3:10, a great housewarming verse! I read this booklet hoping to get something out of it, but it saddened me...All it is is 1-2-3, pray after me and say the magic words.
What we must do is convict them from the law of God that they have sinned against a holy God, who will one day judge the world in righteousness. Law before grace. Don't read anything from Hyles. Instead, check out the Way of the Master by Ray Comfort/Kirk Cameron and the Soulwinner by C.H. Spurgeon. I do not believe Christians have any business giving the gospel to the righteous--we must very first let God humble them. God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Galatians 3:24.

This soul winning maual is not going to help you fulfill the Great Commission.
You need to do more than just go and talk someone into making a profession of faith, we are to make disciples, not converts.
This book focuses on making converts and nothing more, gives the impression of making salvation a "sell" and is reminicent of door to door salesmen.

I don't see what all the fuss is about with people complaining about this book. (It's not even a 'book', it's really just a 'booklet' or 'pamphlet'). Those complaining, I think, expect a *textbook* for a college course on Evangelism. This is just practical advice for every day, presented in an easygoing, humorous manner -- even though it regards a vary serious subject. I do not take the Gospel and the Commission to preach it lightly; and neither, I hope, does Brother Hyles; however, those who complain of the book take THEMSELVES too seriously. If you are too high and mighty to be helped by something that is targeted at someone who is not as educated as you are (but written *by* somebody who is well-educated and well-experienced in the faith), remember:
'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.' Lk. 4:18.

When I trusted Christ as Saviour, I wanted to witness to people, but I had no idea how to do it.
In simple language and easy steps, Brother Hyles shows how to do it in this great little book. We represent the King of Kings; we ought to be faithful ambassadors for Him. Applying what you learn in this book will help you do just that.
If you want to see souls saved, you'll be happy you bought this book. If you're a dead and dusty "deeper-life" theologian, I'm sure you find some way to criticize the author.
