Soul winners are always eager to learn new ways to evangelize. In the search for more effective methods in reaching the lost, a practice of Jesus himself may have been overlooked.

This brief work takes a serious look at the Master's use of "knife and fork" evangelism. It asks about Luke's indication that Jesus was eating regularly with publicans and sinners (Lk. 15:1-2).

Was the table a chosen arena for gospel confrontation? What did dining with "sinners" say to them and to others? Could God's Spirit have preserved this record of Jesus' technique to be a suggestion to his followers?
