The sinner's prayer - Fact or fiction

For more than 60 years the Christian church has gone around the world telling people to "pray this little prayer after me" in order to be 'saved' or converted. Some call it "Asking Jesus into your heart" or 'Giving your heart to the Lord', or 'praying the "Sinner's Prayer".' But would it surprise you to learn that such a thing is found nowhere in the entire Bible?

Is there ever a time when an apostle or evangelist in the New Testament leads someone in such a "salvation prayer" - or anything like it? We have records of literally thousands of people becoming converted in the Bible, yet not once does anyone employ such a method. The "little prayer" simply does not exist.

So why are we going around the world getting people 'saved' in a way that is totally different from the Bible? And is such a "salvation" really any salvation at all? What is the actual pattern of conversion that the apostles did use? All these questions and more are answered in the provocative book.
