Looking for the One

David McIver

Join Jesus in Looking For The One.

In Looking for the One, David McIver―veteran minister, radio host for PraiseLive, and a former chapel leader for the Minnesota Twins―liberates readers from "evangelism" formulas, equipping them instead to walk in the same surrendered attentiveness that Jesus modeled, seeing lives transformed by the true power of the gospel.

Looking For The One is short stories about people experiencing Jesus in  grocery stores, hospitals, and dugouts.  Each story models what happens when you invite Jesus to look for the one through you.  It's replacing a formula or system with organic and supernatural encounters.   

Because each short story includes resources and discussion questions, you can equip your friends and family to join you in looking for the one. 

As you witness the gospel's simple power in your everyday life, you discover that the first life to be changed is yours. Because as you look for the one, you become like the One.

You become more like Jesus.

"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them―what do you do? You leave the other ninety-nine sheep in the pasture and go looking for the one that got lost until you find it."

LUKE 15:4

Witness the simple power of the gospel in your everyday life.

The word "Evangelism" makes many Christians uncomfortable. Perhaps it is because evangelism "formulas" often feel manufactured, non-relational, and forced. But Jesus modeled a paradigm that was precisely the opposite. He shared the gospel in simple and personal ways by seeking out "the one" ― the one who needed to meet Him most.

God led David McIver to follow this example, looking for one specific person each day with whom to share the love of Jesus. Amazing Kingdom results followed his simple act of obedience.

Through incredible personal stories, sound biblical teaching, and practical application, McIver leads readers to follow Jesus' example, carrying the gospel in ways that are…

  • Genuine

  • Respectful

  • Organic

  • Loving

  • Relational

  • Transformative

Instead of evangelizing through a system that produces guilt and frustration, discover that, as you look for the one, you become like the One―Jesus Himself. Begin looking for the one, and witness the simple power of the gospel breakthrough!
