God is back on the agenda. Today people are fascinated by spirituality, and they have lots of questions. Who better to talk with them than Christians? Trouble is, many of us don't know how to talk about our faith or are uneasy about religious salesmanship and canned evangelistic formulas. We are afraid of button-holing others, being offensive or saying something wrong. We simply don't know how to express our faith naturally--in everyday language. In Holy Conversation Richard Peace teaches us how to engage in easy and comfortable conversation about the good news of Jesus--the pressure is off. Using small, easy steps, he explains the gospel in plain language and encourages us in practical ways to share our faith with friends, neighbors and colleagues. Written as a guide for small groups, Holy Conversation is designed to be completed in twelve weekly sessions (other options are provided). Not only do group members read about holy conversation, they actually engage one another in spiritual conversation. This is the ideal resource for helping laypeople to become competent and confident Christian conversationalists! | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Don't be offensive!Nov 25, 2008
By K. McClelland
"Book-a-holic"
Holy Conversation is an excellent guidebook to sharing your faith without offending others! My women's group is taking a spiritual journey with this slim volume. We are learning to use ordinary words to express our heart-felt beliefs and to steer clear of language that is loaded with confusion and for many, offense. Richard Peace has addressed a very necessary issue in today's society. Highly recommended!

Group Ministry PastorOct 09, 2008
By David B. Swenson We are using this book as curriculum for our 8 Life Groups. It has been an engaging study. I love how this reviews the Gospel content. It gets our minds wrapped around the essentials. All of us review our stories as well as get prepared to tell THE story. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

Very Helpful Study GudieApr 22, 2008
By Pastor Chris
"EvangelismCoach.org"
I like how this book is laid out. It is an excellent resource as a group study, and one that would be comfortable in a mainline setting.
The study questions will provide great conversation starters and the assignments between weeks will help group members grow confident in their ability to talk about their faith.
This book would be excellent for those who have never had to think through their testimony before, or have difficulty expressing the highs and lows of their faith Journey in Christ.
