"Sam Chen helps all of us to not be "that guy" so we can point people to the person of Jesus. Sam has taken a heavy topic and made it into a breezy read that will inform, amuse and inspire." - Abdu Murray
Most Christians know they should be trying to tell their friends and family about Jesus. But in a post-Christendom world, personal evangelism is viewed negatively--it's offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive. Recent studies confirm that the majority of Christians rarely evangelise, worried they might offend their family or lose their friends. In How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being That Guy), author Sam Chan equips everyday Christians who are reluctant and nervous to tell their friends about Jesus with practical, tested ways of sharing their faith in the least awkward ways possible.
Drawing from over two decades of experience as an evangelist, teacher, and pastor, Chan explains why personal evangelism feels so awkward today. And utilising recent insights from communication theory, cross-cultural ministry, and apologetics, he helps you build confidence in sharing your faith, and teaches you how to evangelise your friends and family in socially appropriate ways.
A selection of short meditations for each day of the year, from Australian writers, including pastors and other faith-filled servants of Jesus.
Drawing illustrations from every day life, the writers thoughts are relatable, Christ-centred, and point readers back to the full life he promises in his name. Included is the bible reading for the day, a featured verse, a faith-talk question, and a prayer. Perfect for individuals, families, or groups.
May you be blessed by a daily hint of heaven as you take time out in His presence.

We all know there are countless reasons to thank and praise God — but how often do we pause to truly do it? Join us for our 10,000 Reasons series as we take time to slow down, refocus our hearts, and remember the many ways God is at work in our lives. As we thank him for the past, celebrate the present, and look forward with eternal hope, we’re reminded that there are indeed ten thousand reasons — and more — to praise God every day.
This four part series begins Sunday 2 November.
