Witnessing. For most Christians this word stirs up a wide range of emotions : everything from slight discomfort to paralyzing fear. Of course we know we need to share our faith, but many of us question where to begin. Some point to their own shortcomings or busy lives as excuses, while still others flat-out avoid it. As author Paul Borthwick says, "The question becomes, how do we resurrect the desire in ourselves to be contagious Christians?" With sincerity and practicality, Borthwick's answer is: regain your own heart for Jesus. When our passion for Christ is renewed, we can't help but see the lost -- our neighbors, coworkers, relatives -- with a fresh vision. This book will challenge you to rethink your own worldviews and learn how to better understand the people you're trying to reach. The payoff has eternal worth. Witnessing will no longer be something to avoid, but instead will become a part of you. - Back cover.
