Living His Story

by Hannah Steele

Stories tell us who we are, where we belong and how we relate to the world around us. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the story at the heart of the universe, and yet the Church now finds itself in a culture that has largely forgotten this good news. How can we convey the extraordinary love of God to our neighbours in such a strange post-Christian world?

I was very surprised by this book.

Enjoying a book about evangelism? I am so shy that the idea of preaching literally fills me with terror. But one of the strengths of the book was highlighting that aggressive preaching and door-to-door tactics are not all that evangelism can be. I enjoyed the examination of the ways Jesus, Peter and Paul (in particular) varied their approach with different people.

One of the better Archbishop's Lent Books I have read.

The subtitle 'revealing the extraordinary love of God in ordinary ways' is perfect - threads weave throughout the book as Hannah Steele shares anecdotes to illustrate this. Reminding and pointing the reader of the ways in which their/our/my story is part of God's larger story.
A book for Lent but which can be enjoyed throughout the year, as I have, at times reading lots of pages, at others just a few.

The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent book of 2021. Hannah Steele is an ordained minister and she writes in such an easy manner and understanding. The book centres on how we evangelise effectively Gods Love. Well written and takes us back to basics. Loved it

A phenomenal lenten read.

I so appreciate Hannah Steele's way of weaving story into our efforts to share the love of Jesus with people.

Her writing on "beautiful and imaginative evangelism" is both timely and compelling.

Written in a very engaging way with practical ideas (using films, books etc) on how to share the gospel with our contemporary society.

Absolutely fantastic book. Deep, rich, gently challenging, warmly encouraging. Wish I had read it sooner. One to revisit regularly and share with others.

“as a Church we need to be thinking much more about how we spend the 110 waking hours we are not in church, than the two or three hours we are there.”
