Some of us fear moments when we need to defend our theology. Some of us seek them out. In reality, the majority of the witnessing encounters we'll ever be involved in will be involuntary. They will involve less-than-optimal conditions, unexpected questions, and the split-second decision of how to represent our faith. So how do we draw others to God in the midst of these ordinary conversations? In "Speaking of Jesus, "Carl Medearis draws on his experience of international reconciliation between Muslims and Christians to remind us of the heart of evangelism: Jesus. Here he gives us tools, stories, and the foundation we need to move beyond "us" and "them" and simply talk about our Savior. As Carl writes, "While others are explaining and defending various isms and ologies we're simply pointing people to our friend. The one who uncovers and disarms. Who leads people right to himself. The beginning and the end of the story. A good story indeed."
