Jesus said the second greatest commandment is to love people (Matthew 22:36-40). You’d think the greatest way to obey that command is to tell people as often as possible how to establish a relationship with God that results in the forgiveness of the person’s sins and prevents them from an eternity in hell (John 3:16).
Yet, studies show the majority of Christians avoid evangelizing because they’re worried they might offend their family or lose their friends. Since the Bible is the world’s most popular book, continuing to be the number-one bestseller decade after decade, one convenient and non-threatening way to help people find and follow Jesus is to simply offer them a free print Bible, in which they can read for themselves about God’s extraordinary gift of salvation.
