A practical guide to making evangelism a natural part of everyday life   The word ‘evangelism’ may conjure up a set of images – street preachers, tracts, boldly speaking to strangers on buses about Jesus. Things that, in other words, send many Christians into a panic. While all of these things have been used powerfully by God in spreading the gospel, not every Christian is an specifically gifted Evangelist. However, every Christian is called to evangelism.   Andy Paterson begins by pointing readers to what evangelism has always been– declaring God’s glory among the nations. He then differentiates between those gifted to be Evangelists and those who have a different calling before getting into the practical details of what it means to be involved in the saving work of the gospel.   If you long to see people saved by the power of the gospel, or feel guilty about not taking every chance to tell people about Jesus, this book will encourage and challenge you, and help you on your way.

Peter Webber's screen adaptation of Tracy Chevalier's novel looks at the process behind creating one of the most famous portraits and told from the sitter's viewpoint - namely Jan Vermeer's The Girl With a Pearl Earring. Griet (Scarlett Johansson) is a young woman who sets off from her family home in the countryside to work as a servant for the Vermeer household in the burgh of Delft. To begin with, she is very lowly in the servant ranks, but is then given responsibility for cleaning the master of the house's painting quarters. Master of the house, the unsociable Vermeer (Colin Firth) is taken with Griet's looks and over some time paints her portrait. This upsets his pregnant and jealous wife, Catharina (Essie Davis) and his benefactor, van Ruijven (Tom Wilkinson), who likes to decide what Vermeer should be painting. All the while, Griet is forming her own special relationship with a peasant boy (Cillian Murphy) of her own age.
