How to Talk About Jesus With Anyone

It’s the one thing we all should be doing but probably aren’t. (Or not enough.)

Exercising? Eating right? Calling Mom?

No: spreading the good news about Jesus Christ and his salvation.

This job isn’t optional. It’s an explicit command from the Lord himself. So why do we work hard to be good Catholics in so many other ways—going to church, obeying the commandments, persevering in prayer—but make excuses about our reluctance to evangelize?

In How to Talk About Jesus with Anyone, Steve Dawson (St. Paul Street Evangelization) teams up with Cy Kellett (Catholic Answers Live) to help you replace those excuses with a tested plan for going from timid and hesitant to confident and zealous in your daily duty to save souls.

Building on decades of experience sharing the saving truths of the gospel, Steve and Cy will show you:

• Why you don’t have to be an extrovert or hold a Ph.D. in theology to evangelize effectively
• How to tell when people are receptive to hearing the gospel (hint: more often than you think!)
• The one weird trick that opens the door to dialogue (and the door-closing mistakes to avoid)
• How to guard against ways the devil will try to stop you

. . . and more!

How to Talk About Jesus with Anyone will help you turn everyday encounters into opportunities to gift others with life-changing truth. In so doing, you will fulfill Christ’s command, swell the ranks of heaven, and—perhaps unexpectedly—discover the secret reward of the evangelist: joy.

"Most Catholics want to evangelize better. If that is you, then you need to buy, read, and live out How to Talk About Jesus with Anyone. The advice is practical and more important effective in helping win others for Jesus and the Catholic Church. Don't overthink it. Get this book and then become a better Catholic missionary disciple!" - Marcel Lejuene, President, Catholic Missionary Disciples 

"At a time when many Catholics feel unsure and ill-equipped to talk about their faith in everyday life, this book is a gift. For anyone who longs to share their faith with confidence and compassion, but isn’t sure where to begin, the authors gently guide and equip readers to speak about Jesus in ways that are authentic, respectful, and rooted in relationship. With wisdom shaped by a deep engagement with Scripture and real-life experience, they remind us that evangelization flows from relationship, prayer, and trust in the Holy Spirit. Drawing from the richness of the Catholic tradition and attuned to the real questions people ask, this book shows how sharing Jesus can be natural, relational, and Spirit-led. It is an essential guide for anyone who desires to evangelize with both truth and tenderness." - Julianne Stanz, Director of Outreach for Evangelization and Discipleship, Loyola Press
