About the Author
Ray Comfort, a native New Zealander, began his ministry with a burden for his lost friends. After attending the funeral of a fifth friend who had died from a drug overdose, Ray published an eight page pamphlet called "My Friends Are Dying." This pamphlet gained substantial publicity and was later expanded to a paperback book. As a result, Ray received many opportunities to speak to youth about the ultimate answer to the drug problem--Jesus Christ.

Shortly after this, Ray began praying for an opportunity to share his faith publicly. He soon learned his hometown, Christchurch, had recently legalized public speaking in the local square. Ray began preaching the gospel outdoors, and this became the daily focus of his ministry.

Ray has written more than 35 books and spoken at almost 700 churches. His ministry has included pastoring a church, hosting a Christian radio program, writing a newspaper column called Words of Comfort, and serving as a regular platform speaker at Southern Baptist State Conferences.

Ray lives in Bellflower, California, with his wife, Sue, and their three children.

There Is No Good News without Bad News
Without conviction of sin there is no confession of sin; without confession of sin there is no repentence of sin; without repentence of sin there is no salvation from sin. Faithful to the Bible, Ray Comfort, practices and in Hell's Best Kept Secret promotes a radical form of evangelism that begins with the premise that the Law of God condemns to eternal damnation those who are yet under the mastery of our sins. Without this conviction, why should there be any imperative to believe the good news that Jesus Christ died so that we can be forgiven, through faith in Him, for our sins and that He arose from the dead so that we too can have eternal life? Ray is grieved by the shallowness of many cheap, easy-believer, feel-good temporary professions of faith that are in response to a watered-down Gospel. As an counterpoint, he does not mince any words with his accurate and comprehensive restatement of Christ's authentic Gospel. This book is refreshing in its tough honesty. Because it conforms to Biblical truth, it is powerful in its conclusions. Hell's Best Kept Secret is the most convicting, provoking and reassuring book on evangelism I have read.

Interested in Evangelism? Read this book!
I was talking to a friend whose church has recently begun using the Law out on the streets, and receiving the backlash for it. Christians scream at them for condemning sinners and not being kind...all because they do not understand the purpose of the Law.
In Hell's Best Kept Secret, Ray Comfort will teach you the purpose of the Law and how to use the Ten Commandments when speaking to a sinner so that he sees himself as he really is: a condemned sinner. Not condemned by you or me, but condemned by his own actions.
Ray will also teach you how to approach a person using the RCCR Principle - Relate, Create, Convict, Reveal - based on John 4.
I first read this book in late 1989, and it revolutionized the way I witness. The message contained in this book is so important that I've shared it on three continents, plus with people all over the world through the internet. One read of the book, and you'll find yourself wanting to purchase other copies to give to friends. The teaching is THAT important.
For more practical advice about witnessing, you may also want to purchase Ray's "How to Win Souls and Influence People." For more understanding of the purpose of the Law, you may want to purchase his soon to be re-released "God Has A Wonderful Plan for Your Life: The Myth of the Modern Message." And coming soon, "The Evidence Bible." Sorry for sounding like a commercial, but Ray's stuff is important for the Church. You can find out more by visiting his website.

Must need for any Great commission obeying Christian!!!
This book has revolutionized the way I approach evangelism. Ray Comfort comprehensively outlines the Biblical approach to evangelism, using God's law to bring people to realize that they are sinners before God and will face judgement because of their disobedience (such through the ten commandments). It seriously addresses the modern gospel preaching problem where we talk about God's love but not sin, which produces so called "back sliders" in church... people who haven't made a concious decision to turn from their sin and live for Jesus. At the same time Ray explains and gives a balanced view on the different approaches on evangelism, such as lifestyle and such and their place, but importantly that we need to bring sinners to understand that they already are under God's judgement and need to turn to Him.

If you are a church leader, are an evangelist, or just obeying God's commandment to preach the gospel, you should definitely read this book! I've ordered ~120 copies (60 of this, 60 of another of his books) and given them free to people at my church retreat because it is really that good. (...)
