Revolutionary! – Perspective Cards Review

This is truly a revolutionary tool for evangelism. As one who for years used The Four Spiritual Laws to communicate the Good News, I have found this to be much more effective. Why? The Four Spiritual Laws required one person to sit and listen to a lengthy presentation and then make a binary choice at the end. By contrast, Perspective Cards allow the game-player/survey-participant to do most of the talking, especially during the first part of the presentation. That normally opens him up to hear the presenter give the Christian viewpoint on the issues raised by the survey. The presentation ends with the game-player/survey-participant choosing a Next Step among four options. So far, virtually all of the people with whom I have used the survey have chosen, in one way or another, to continue pursuing information about the issues raised by Perspective Cards. Here’s my suggestion for one improvement: At the end of the survey, the survey-participant’s responses are emailed to him along with a message that has been pre-inserted: “May the conversations you have and the ideas you explore sincerely help you on your spiritual journey!” Since I am planning to continue the conversation with my game-playing friend and to explore the ideas with him, I need to change that wording: “May the conversations we have and the ideas we explore sincerely help us both on our spiritual journeys!” This revised wording communicates a message that sounds much less like, “I have the answers, and I hope you’ll find them someday too.” The fact is, I don’t have all the answers, and by continuing our discussion together, we will both benefit. The rewording puts my relationship with my friend on a much more leveled playing field. Get the tool and use it – it’s terrific!
