How can I share my faith without an argument? (Discovery Series Booklet)

The Holy Spirit does the convincing and the convicting!

One answer is to go low-key, relational, and long-term.  "Friendship evangelism" is an important way to attract people to the difference that Christ is making in us (1 Peter 3:15).  but is that the whole answer?  Have some of us been using that strategy as an excuse not to talk openly about our faith? When I met Bill Fay, I sensed a deep faith and conviction that rang true.  Hearing his story and listening to him describe practical ways of being more direct in witnessing reawakened a sense of urgency in my own heart.  ODBM offers Bill's experience and method of witnessing not because we think it's the only way, but because of the need to be influenced by someone who is doing all he can to reach people for Christ.
