Every Sunday morning, millions of believers gather to celebrate God's presence in their lives. Far fewer return to their homes and workplaces and share that incredible relationship with other people. The common "sales pitch" model of evangelism has made talking about God appealing to only a few personality types.
What can be done to return evangelism to the lips of average Christians? The first step is to recognize that the Christian faith is less about a particular set of principles and more about being in a relationship with God. The secret to a great evangelism ministry lies in helping people understand what a day-in, day-out relationship with the Almighty looks like.
This book imagines a world where each Christian is developing a walk with God worth sharing. Written for pastors, ministry leaders, and lay people alike, it offers a return to the way Christianity originally spread: through the excitement of having one's life changed by a relationship with Jesus.
