Abstract
What if “evangelism” meant just being yourself?
If the gospel really is good news, why do most Christians avoid evangelism? Why is “witnessing” often a negative experience, for both the sender and receiver? Wouldn’t it be great if you could communicate the good news without having to become a spiritual salesperson?
What if…
•you didn’t have to make a speech in order to “witness”?
•you could use everyday experiences to nudge others closer to Jesus?
•the things you’re already doing counted as evangelism?
Evangelism can be as normal as asking great questions and paying attention to the people Jesus misses most. It involves doing things you already do, but with a little more intentionality. Just by being yourself and becoming unusually interested in others, you can discover that people will ask you about Jesus.
This isn’t another program or pitch. It’s a handbook on how to make real connections with the people formerly known as lost.
Think of it as evangelism for the rest of us.

Description
Boldness is overrated : try free attention giveaways -- The people formerly known as "lost" : what's in a name -- Ordinary makes a comeback : maybe we aren't the problem -- The Gospel according to you : practice being yourself -- Count conversations, not conversions : the true size of small talk -- Evangelize with your ears : Jesus asked great questions -- Do what's doable : it's all you're really going to do anyway -- Out of religion and into reality : dump the religion business -- The new habit of being real : get better reality -- Have you lusted today? : good intentions count too -- Who's lost-us or them? : they can't locate God, we can't locate them -- A.k.a. "found" : conversion by conversation.
