Twinkle: Sharing Your Faith One Light at a Time - Softcover

"Your light will shine a little brighter if you let this book do its work for you."-John Ortberg, teaching pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church Being a light in dark places is always a challenge. When it comes to sharing faith, it's easy to bump up against a pile of evangelism fears and go no further: I might offend, I don't have all the answers, I might fail. . . . These thoughts are all very real-and very intimidating. But "God wouldn't invite us to be a part of something impossible," says Elisa Morgan. You can share your faith in simple and everyday ways. With real-life stories, scriptural insight, and practical advice, Elisa Morgan will get you past the I can'ts of sharing your faith and help you grab onto the I cans of relational evangelism. Because a little light can go a long way. "Twinkle is simply one of the most helpful books on evangelism I have ever read."-Todd Hunter, national director, Alpha USA "Elisa shows us how our everyday faith can lead to saving faith."-Dr. Wess Stafford, president and CEO, Compassion International "Elisa's words remind us that sharing our faith should be compassionate, perceptive, and feel as natural and warm as a flickering light."-Matthew Paul Turner, author, Provocative Faith Elisa Morgan has practiced relational evangelism for more than 16 years as CEO of MOPS International, Inc.

Excerpt in catalog: Does any human soul feel up to the task of sharing our faith? And yet, we who have God's light burning within us are asked to share that light with others. All of us. I have this gut conviction that God wouldn't invite us to be a part of something impossible. In my soul, I have a feeling that we make the whole share your faith thing much more difficult than God makes it. I have this suspicion that our "I can'ts" won't hold up in real life when we meet a person stuck in a dark and hopeless situation. We can hide behind them, but God's light will poke out of our very beings-if only from our very real human cracks. This book is about the fact that even a tiny speck of light changes the very nature of darkness. It's about moving from the "I can't" to the "I can" of relational evangelism. It's about shining in the day to day in such a way that we help others move one step closer to Jesus. It's about the difference we can make by twinkling.
