'Nothing so comprehensive in the whole field of outdoor evangelism has ever been published before. Here, Noel Gibson writing in his prime and with the experience of 36 years behind him, presents the essential principles and practices of effective Gospel communication-in streets and plazas, by the sea, in the factory canteen, in high schools, and in church related campaigns to mention only a few.
'Written with racy humor, superlative teaching, and doctrinal insight it is a goldmine of knowledge for those who would launch out to reach the world for Christ. The illustrative material alone-both by written word and graphic design-is well worth the purchase price.
`The manual is a must for every Bible College student, for active 'part-time' or `full-time' workers, and for the eager generation of Third World disciples who are currently shaming the Christian youth of the west by their ardent zeal and fearless witness in the bazaars and streets of their homelands.'
Stewart R. Dinnen, International Secretary Worldwide Evangelization for Christ (WEC)

'I have watched Noel Gibson in action on the frontlines, in the midst of sinners in street evangelism; I've heard him train others in the 'how to' that he's learned by decades of doing it-this author has something to say backed by the authority of the Spirit, the Word, and personal experience.'
Loren Cunningham, International Director Youth With A Mission

`I am excited about the publication of the Fisherman's Basket. It will be a most helpful addition to the scant source of materials on Open Air Evangelism.'
James A. Duffecy. President Open Air Campaigners International
