About this audiobook
When you've been transformed by God's love, you can't help but want others to experience the same grace and freedom. But how do you share it without scaring them away or offending them? For most Christians, "evangelism" is an intimidating word that suggests handing out tracts to strangers or doing other awkward things.
But what if there was a more organic, more authentic way to share your faith with your friends, neighbors, and coworkers?
Dave and Jon Ferguson have found five simple, straightforward practices that will allow any believer to do just that. And by consistently living them out, you can affect not just individual lives but your entire neighborhood and community-one person at a time.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent focus in living an intentional Christ-centered life. I'm reading a bunch of books for a seminary course and this is one of my favorites. Gospel Fluency by Vanderstelt and The Gospel by Stiles are my others.
