We know the radical difference the gospel of Jesus Christ makes, and we want others to know of it. So often, though, we feel that we are inadequate to the task. The Bible studies, exercises and readings in Daniel Meyer's new book will deepen your faith and equip you to minister to others with a new sense of confidence and calling.

We know the radical difference the gospel of Jesus Christ makes, and we want others to see and enjoy its benefits. In fact, we don't want them to just pray a prayer and move on to the next interesting thing. We want them to sink their roots deeply into the grace of God.
So often, though, we feel that we are inadequate to this important task--that we don't know enough or that we will offend our friends. Daniel Meyer has provided the tools you need to move forward:

the basics of the gospel message
the role of life change in our witness
how to present the good news

The Bible studies, exercises and readings in this book will deepen your personal faith and equip you to minister to others with a new sense of confidence and calling.

Daniel Meyer is senior pastor at Christ Church of Oak Brook in Oak Brook, Illinois. His sermons are heard weekly on the Love Changes Life program. They are also frequently featured on PreachingToday.com. Dan is the author, with Greg Ogden, of Leadership Essentials.
