Synopsis

The community of Christ has a great tradition of invitation. Inviting others to faith requires leaning in to your own story, overcoming fear, and stepping out. But the good news is for everyone, always. And you can help keep it going. Using Scripture and story, Steve Carter casts a vision for non-threatening conversations that point people to Christ. Most significantly, Steve shows that only through risking it all will we discover what God is truly like.

This book has quiet literally changed the way I think about my Christianity and has, in turn, changed my life. Carter does an amazing job at "inviting" the reader to invite others into the faith.
