The title alone is worth spending time contemplating before even opening the cover of this timely book. When I read the description of what Steve Lobrovich hoped to accomplish in this short, thought-provoking guide to sharing our faith in God, it intrigued me.
How do you teach without preaching? As I looked through the table of contents, not only was I intrigued by the subjects that Steve was tackling, but I also realized that I personally knew someone struggling or being challenged by every life situation that was presented.
Each of these individuals had either stepped away from their faith at some point or had never had an interest in exploring what role faith played in a Christian’s life. They responded to my well-intentioned sharing with eye rolls or found the “institution of organized religion” to be a turnoff.
I set aside 2 hours to read the day I received the book and committed to thinking about the two questions at the end of each brief chapter. I was so impressed after the first reading that I committed to reading it again the next day, taking more time to contemplate both the content and the questions. It amazed me how much deeper I could delve into my self-reflection and answer the questions. I do not want to go into a lot of detail about the content of the chapters because I REALLY don’t want to spoil the beauty of the presentation, but I will say that I have significantly changed the way I have introduced my love of Christ and hope for the future of all those I connect with.
My confidence and peace in sharing my faith with others has grown tremendously. I discovered from this book that starting conversations with a few introspective questions can greatly improve how I talk to people about their faith. I hope that by writing this review, I can motivate those who are curious to buy the book and find enjoyment in it as I have. Mr. Lobrovich has done an exceptional job of sharing his wisdom and challenging our beliefs. I am looking forward to Steve’s follow-up book!
Thank you for this informative and enjoyable book!
