Out of the Comfort Zone review

In "Out of the Comfort Zone", Ray Comfort, founder of Living Waters, chronicles the events that brought him to his current ministry with Way of the Master and Living Waters. Ray's casual, witty, and yet spiritually deep and challenging biography shows the difficult and dangerous situations he has walked through in his desire to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. From the inner city park filled with drug dealers to the streets where he preached, you will never be left bored or even able to put this book down. God has protected this man and given abundant fruit from the Gospel proclamation paired with genuine love for those to whom Ray ministers.

My one complaint with Ray Comfort's books is repetition. This book is not terribly repetitious in itself, but if you have read some of Ray's other books, you will find repeated content takes up about 1/3 of the book. Of course, this information is beneficial to consider more than once, as the repetitive sections are largely concerning how best we ought to share the Gospel. I greatly enjoyed the book, getting a look past the "Way of the Master" course and into the daily life of a man on fire for the Lord. I think any Christian would enjoy this book also, and highly recommend "Out of the Comfort Zone".

09437: Out of the Comfort Zone Out of the Comfort Zone By Ray Comfort 
Most of us have our own "comfort zone"---the place where we feel safe and satisfied. However, circumstances often drive us out from that area in which we feel most comfortable. Such was the case when Ray Comfort found himself being taken 7,000 miles from his homeland in New Zealand, to speak to the daunting residents of the most dangerous part of Los Angeles, California. MacArthur Park was infamous for being the home of murderers, drug addicts, thieves, pimps, prostitutes, and unfortunately, the destitute and homeless.
At times, this fast-moving and true-life drama will make your hair stand on end as you enter the dark side of the supernatural. It will also encourage you and lift your faith as you learn how a celebrated Hollywood actor teamed up with Ray Comfort to bring an amazing message to America. Originally published as My Friends Are Dying! and The Power of Darkness. Includes the previously published Miracle in the Making.
