My church was updating their books and sharing old and dups. I grabbed this one though the author was unfamiliar to me. ( she mentioned Campus Crusade which I do know ). Quick read with great testimonies and tips for sharing!!

This was a book I’ve had on my shelf for many years, and I picked it up while cleaning out books because I want to try to focus more on prayer.
Even though this book is old, the stories in it speak to everyone. I really loved the way Becky wove her testimony and the Gospel into her everyday life and relationships. Her many examples of how she did that, and the results of her conversations are in this mostly very ordinary book about living life in light of the Gospel and your personal salvation story.
I highly recommend it.

Becky Tirabassi shares her witnessing experiences and tips for becoming a more effective witness for Jesus in this very readable book. Yes, she is in ministry, but the stories she shares about her witnesses are all from personal one-on-one encounters--her manicurist, a neighbor, a stranger on a plane, for example. She is careful to not put a denominational spin on the content, so this is a book to encourage all believers.

This was a short read (I could put this book down.) with a lot of personal stories. It was nice to get the feel for how to talk to people about your story (testimony) without being to pushy or religious.
