A Christian's Guide to Speaking Secular: From the Spiritual Puzzle Series

To help someone learn a second language, the teacher must have command of both languages. The good news of the Gospel and the life of Jesus and His teachings are very deep, and there are many levels of meaning. When we try to teach these concepts to others, we need to be able to explain it, starting with simple language that they can understand. A big problem with trying to help non-Christians learn about Christianity is that many Christians struggle with knowing how to express the true depth and beauty of the Christian message. Many Christians are not comfortable sharing the good news for many different reasons.

The first goal of A Christian's Guide to Speaking Secular is to help Christians and non-Christians understand the remarkable and beautiful spiritually uplifting message of Christianity. The second goal is to help Christians learn how to explain the good news in familiar language that is comfortable for non-Christians to understand. If you are a non-Christian and you want to understand the spiritual basics of Christianity in a way you have not heard before, this book should help. This book is not intended to be a scholarly work. It is intended to be an easy-to-understand description of Christianity with suggestions on how to help non-Christians understand the beauty in common, non-religious, non-threatening language.

A Christian's Guide to Speaking Secular is part of The Spiritual Puzzle Project Series. The goal of The Spiritual Puzzle Project series is to help you increase your Spiritual Literacy. Trying to understand reality and spirituality without a big picture understanding is like trying to put a puzzle together without the picture on the box. The Spiritual Puzzle Project does not try to tell you what to believe. It tries to help you understand the Big Picture so you can figure out how your unique piece fits in the spiritual puzzle.
