"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.

100 points… proof of identity. It matters that the picture matches the reality. As followers of the risen Jesus, our lives are to match the new reality of death’s defeat and Christ’s victory in us.
Does yours? Are you who you say you are? Could you be identified as a follower of Jesus? Do your daily choices show that his way is your way?
Join us as we get a much needed IDENTITY CHECK, where we learn to follow Jesus, led by the Spirit into his likeness, so that the world around us can experience his new life for itself.
