It seeks to address an area of neglect that many seem disinterested in discussing: This thing called ‘evangelism’ is often in the ‘too hard basket’ in our churches, yet is integral to our mission. It’s the elephant in the room!

Discover the missing links that are stopping our Churches achieving their mission.

This book is only written because Dave believes there is hope. There is a way forward! Specifically, there are now solutions on the table that could remedy the current situation. They are profound — yet simple. The question is, are we ready to read, consider and apply them?

A practical and motivational guide to evangelism in the NEW WORLD.

This book provides a simple, practical & achievable approach to doing something we’ve all been talking about for decades: Developing a sustainable culture of personal conversational Christian witness in our Churches that is suited to our times.

The Christian Church no longer enjoys a majority status in our society. How could we adapt, to become an effectively activated minority?

How could we better release the hope of Christ beyond the bewildering intersection of our mission with denomination, Church and culture?

This book is about the function of the Church at the city and national levels. Why don’t we work together more — or is it that we can’t? The answer lies in our thinking. We’ve been led to believe that our functional unity is an idealism, when it’s actually the very thing Jesus prayed for (John 17). While some character-flaws might inhibit it, the Holy Spirit was given to help of us overcome these too (Galatians 5:22-23)! So here is a highly practical book that discusses cultural trends, what we could do together in view of them, and how united leadership might be released — all based on the foundational belief that, because the Holy Spirit is with us, more really is yet possible!

Introduction: Public media and education shape perspectives. Excluding Christian messages can make them seem irrelevant, and negative portrayals can harm our faith’s image. To counter this, we need to speak up more. This book focuses on the art of storytelling to share Christian ideas effectively in public. Let our stories be heard!

In summary of the lesson of this short book: Stories can be told in everyday conversation (or in talks) in which a reason for faith is the secondary component, not the primary. As the art of this kind of storytelling is caught, it will begin to affect EVERY COMMUNICATION EFFORT WE MAKE!
