How to Talk About Jesus without Looking Like an Idiot [9781789744873]

Why is it so difficult to talk to our closest friends about what's most important to us? Our true identity? Our hopes and dreams? Our true purpose and faith?

Andy Bannister struggled with that question himself. As a twentysomething, he operated as an Undercover Christian at his job. He knew it didn't make sense, and he spent the following decades helping countless people find easy, natural ways to discuss the fundamental questions of life with the ones they love. How to Talk about Jesus without Looking like an Idiot explores: - why you don't need to be afraid or uncomfortable, - the four questions that help people open up, - the five steps to respond to tough questions, - and how to effortlessly bring faith into a conversation.

It doesn't need to be awkward. Let Andy help you find easy ways to talk about the true meaning of life with your friends and family.

"I love this book. It is simple, practical, and fun. The chapter on asking good questions is worth the price of the whole book. If you're looking for a way to have more meaningful spiritual conversations with people, How to Talk about Jesus without Looking like an Idiot will do exactly as the title suggests." -- Sean McDowell, PhD, professor at Biola University, popular YouTuber, and the author or editor of over twenty books, including A Rebel's Manifesto

"With his unique blend of humour, wit, and incisive analysis, Andy helps us navigate the opportunities and pitfalls of sharing faith today. This accessible book is a must-read for all Christians who want to talk about Jesus with greater confidence and winsomeness." -- Amy Orr-Ewing, PhD, author, speaker, and theologian

"In my experience, telling other people about Jesus is one of the greatest causes of anxiety for the average Christian. But fear not, help is at hand. Delivered with Andy's inimitable sense of humour, this book is a brilliant guide to sharing your faith naturally and confidently. It won't magically turn you into a super evangelist (as Andy explains, they don't really exist in real life), but it will help you to face your fears, start conversations, and simply talk to people about Jesus . . . without looking like an idiot." -- Justin Brierley, author, broadcaster, and host of the Unbelievable? show
