This much-anticipated new course helps you to share your faith with people who have little or no faith and have questions about Christianity. It will:

• equip you to respond more knowledgably when people ask about your faith

• grow your skills and confidence so you can answer challenging questions that help people understand what it means to know Jesus Christ

• enable you to discuss and clarify Christianity with people of little or no faith.

This structured course is for use in a variety of small group settings – church house groups, cafe-style worship services, Lent or Advent groups – and for individuals. It contains source material for local arrangement services and to prepare you for being more intentional about your outreach.

The first of the six 90-minute sessions of the course focuses on Being Ready. The remaining five cover key areas of Christian belief that should be discussed openly: God, Jesus, Suffering, Church, and Faith. These are the topics most likely to come up in conversations about Christian faith with those who are not Christian.

Each flexible session features:

• suggestions for ice-breakers and worship

• real-life stories with practical insights from Christians who talked with others about their faith

• a story from the Gospels illustrating how Jesus engaged in conversation with people

• questions and Bible verses to discuss

• prayers, reflections and follow-up questions

• further resources to explore issues in more depth.

Intended as a follow-on from Talking of God Together.
