Description : You don't want to say something that would offend your father, yet you care deeply about his need for a savior. You don't want your friend to think you're pushy, but you realize how vital this decision is for her. You're aware that an overwhelming majority of people come to Christ through their friendships with committed Christians, but you still struggle with how to share your faith with those close to you.
In
Sharing Your Faith with Friends and Family , Oxford scholar and evangelist Michael Green shows you how to approach and talk naturally with your friends about faith and God. Here you'll gain a wealth of practical insights, from starting the conversation and presenting the gospel message to avoiding mistakes and handling common responses. Most importantly, Green shows how introducing a friend or relative to Christ is the most worthwhile and fulfilling ministry a Christian can have.
Author Information: Michael Green is senior research fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University. He teaches evangelism and New Testament studies, while maintaining a worldwide speaking and writing ministry. He lives in Leicester, England.
Review:
“Green lays out the essentials clearly and simply. The ‘aftercare’ section is also a much-needed addition for helping us care for friends and family—not just what to do to get people to make the decision, but what to do afterward, as well.”
