Summary

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 evangelize, 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 utilizing recent insights from communication theory, cross-cultural ministry, and apologetics, he helps you build confidence in sharing your faith, and teaches you how to evangelize your friends and family in socially appropriate ways.

Chan provides some useful advice on how to share the Christian message with others. These include making it a team effort alongside other Christian friends, attending events with your non-Christian friends, being hospitable and starting small, listening, showing how the Christian story offers what we long for, tell them stories about Jesus that gets them thinking, be like a chaplain, realize disagreement can be okay, sometimes things happen when we least expect it.
For those who want a short book, this is ideal. Personally, I prefer Chan's longer book, Evangelism in a Skeptical World: How to Make the Unbelievable News about Jesus More Believable, which already covers most of the content in this book.
