"Sam Chen helps all of us to not be "that guy" so we can point people to the person of Jesus. Sam has taken a heavy topic and made it into a breezy read that will inform, amuse and inspire." - Abdu Murray
Most Christians know they should be trying to tell their friends and family about Jesus. But in a post-Christendom world, personal evangelism is viewed negatively--it's offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive. Recent studies confirm that the majority of Christians rarely evangelise, worried they might offend their family or lose their friends. In How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being That Guy), author Sam Chan equips everyday Christians who are reluctant and nervous to tell their friends about Jesus with practical, tested ways of sharing their faith in the least awkward ways possible.
Drawing from over two decades of experience as an evangelist, teacher, and pastor, Chan explains why personal evangelism feels so awkward today. And utilising recent insights from communication theory, cross-cultural ministry, and apologetics, he helps you build confidence in sharing your faith, and teaches you how to evangelise your friends and family in socially appropriate ways.

LIVING WORDS
The Bible is more than just a collection of ancient words. It is the Living Word of God — spoken through prophets and apostles, priests and kings, and ultimately through Jesus himself. Words written centuries ago that are still alive and speaking into our lives today. But to live these words, we first need to understand them. Love. Gospel. Disciple. Devotion. Mission. Repentance. Salvation. Worship. Stewardship. Kingdom. They’re words we hear often. Words that are central to our faith. But do we really understand what they mean? Join us as we rediscover the true meaning behind some of the Bible’s most familiar — and perhaps least understood — words and concepts. Because when we understand these Living Words, we can begin to live them.
