About Dave’s book “What Do I Say When Asked About Jesus?”
The book “What Do I Say When Asked About Jesus?” approaches how to share the gospel in a conversational approach. Often times Christians try to unnaturally bring up Jesus and shove the Gospel down non-believers’ throats, but this book goes through how to naturally talk about Jesus to non-believers.
The difference between sharing the Gospel and sharing your Faith
The Gospel is the story of Jesus, it’s the reason why we are Christians. On the other hand, sharing our faith is about how the Gospel has changed our lives. Sharing the Gospel is how to become a Christian, but sharing our faith is sharing how the story has changed our lives.
