Product Description

Being a light in dark places is always a challenge.When it comes to sharing faith, it's easy to bump up against a pile of evangelism fears and go no further: I might add offend, I don't have all the answers, I might fail.... These thoughts are all very real—and very intimidating. But "God wouldn't invite us to be a part of something impossible," says Elisa Morgan. You can share your faith in simple and everyday ways. We may not think we know all the answers, but we can be real. We may fear that we'll mess up, but we also can trust God with the outcome of our efforts.

With real-life stories, scriptural insights, and practical advice, Elisa Morgan will get you past the "I can'ts" of sharing your faith and help you grab on to the "I cans" of relational evangelism. Because a little light can go a long way.
