如何打破沉默？│ How Can I Break the Silence (Simplified Chinese Discovery Series Booklet)

耶稣明明已在我心中居首位，但为何要开口谈到祂时，会难以启齿？福音是我所听过最好的消息，为何要和人分享时，却踌躇不前？我找到了那条道路，能胜过死亡，得享永生，罪得赦免，还能不断地发现上帝的美善。我心里巴不得告诉别人这一切，但有什么方法，可以帮助我打破沉默呢？

为了解答我们心中的困惑，资深编辑何凡路（Herb Vander Lugt）撰写了这本小册子。文中处处闪烁智慧火花，因为作者深知，有两股力量在交互拉扯：一边是福音的大好消息，不能不传；另一边则是我们的迟疑沉默，必须打破。

——狄马汀（Martin R. De Haan II）

We expect them to come to us, when we should be going to them.

Why is it so hard to say those first few words about the most important Person in my life?  Why do I hesitate to pass along the best news I have ever heard?  Is there anything that will help me to do the very thing I want so much to do—to tell others that I have found a way of surviving death, living forever, being forgiven of my sins, and exploring the goodness of God forever?  With a desire to answer such troubling questions, Herb Vander Lugt has written this booklet.  It reflects the wisdom of a man who understands the tension between the message that must be told and the silence that must first be broken.

Herb VanderLugt (1920-2006) grew up in a large family during the Depression.  He was married to his wife Virginia for 65 years.  He enlisted in the US Army during WWII, serving in the Medic Corp in England. Although he was encouraged by his Army supervising doctors to become a physician, he felt a calling to the ministry. He graduated from Moody Bible Institute and Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary. He pastored at First Baptist Church in Carson City, First Baptist Church in Zeeland, Spring Lake Baptist, Trinity Baptist in Grand Rapids, Alaska Baptist Church, Church of the Open Door in Wyoming, and was presently Pastor Emeritus at Sparta Baptist Church. Pastor VanderLugt was often called upon to speak and fulfill interim pastorates. In 1967 he began working at Radio Bible Class where he became the senior research editor, a staff writer, and regular contributor to "Our Daily Bread." He also authored many booklets and books.
