Synopsis

Christ calls us to share his love with others—but how do we do that? For many Christians, our preconceptions about evangelism can be intimidating. Pastors Kerry Willis and Margaret Michael, with Brian Charette, challenge us to shift our focus from procedures and formulas to true connections and real relationships. With scriptural insights, testimonies, and stories of lives changed, the authors demonstrate that we don't all have to be academic theologians or dynamic crusaders to be faithful witnesses to the gospel of Jesus Christ. All we have to do is be sensitive and faithful to the power of presence and realize that we can change lives just by Showing Up.
