'In his new book, expert evangelist Sam Chan invites you into his
home to see what personal evangelism looks like in his own life,
complete with examples, stories, and other practical guidance. It
is a great resource for every Christian who wants to help others
meet Jesus.'
* CRAIG ELLIS, founder and CEO, The Elpis Network *
'Inspirational and immensely practical, Sam Chan shows us what a
life of witness actually looks like--and it looks radiant! The book
shines with gospel optimism and everyday wisdom. This is not about
'silver bullets' (there are none!); instead Sam shows us the
community, the posture, the lifestyle, and the beating heart of a
witness for Jesus, earthing it in our ordinary lives of
discipleship. If you're stuck thinking, I should evangelize, let
Sam raise your gaze. This book shows us we are all witnesses, and,
wonderfully, each of us can play our part.'
* GLEN SCRIVENER, director of Speak Life and author of The Gift
and 3 2 1: The Story of God, the World and You *
'Practical, readable, and Spirit-infused! Sam Chan has given
believers a pathway to sharing faith that is organic and accessible
to ordinary people. Read it, put it into action, and watch God use
you to share his love and grace in fresh new ways.'
* KEVIN HARNEY, founder of Organic Outreach International and
author of the Organic Outreach trilogy *
'Reading Sam Chan's How to Talk about Jesus (Without Being That
Guy) was a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle--you have all the pieces,
but you're not sure how they fit together. In terms of evangelism,
I knew that things like theology, story, culture, history, and
community were essential, but I hadn't grasped how they fit
together until Sam gave me the code. The church owes Sam a huge
debt of thanks for this excellent resource, which will help us
model faithful, sustainable evangelism ourselves and also train our
beloved church families to speak about Jesus.'
* RICO TICE, senior minister for evangelism at All Souls Church,
Langham Place, and author of Honest Evangelism *
'Sam Chan is a breath of fresh air. His book is inspiring and
practical. Challenging and kind. Timely and timeless. Strategic and
genuine. He lives what he writes, yet his life and vision for
effective evangelism are accessible to us all. Thank you, Sam, for
this incredible gift in How to Talk about Jesus (Without Being That
Guy)!'
* CRAIG SPRINGER, executive director, Alpha USA, and author of
How to Follow Jesus and How to Revive Evangelism *
'Sam has cut his teeth sharing the gospel in the context of
diverse, urban, post-Christian Australia. His infectious enthusiasm
for evangelism shines through in this practical and inspiring
guide. A fantastic resource for communicating the life-changing
message of Jesus to a world hungry for meaning.'
* MARK SAYERS, author of Reappearing Church, cohost of This
Cultural Moment podcast, and senior leader of Red Church *
'The Jesus of the Bible is at work today, and finding out where he
is already 'unsettling' our own contacts is the most thrilling,
joyful, Spirit-filled experience. What a master class from Sam 'Mr.
Motivator' Chan in how to get cracking. I couldn't put this book
down. Thanks to Sam's engaging and oh so practical advice, many
will be encouraged enough to start discovering that the power is in
the Word, but--and it's a big but--we do have to get out to share
it! When doing so, I am consistently asked, 'Why has no one ever
shown me this before?''
* RICHARD BORGONON, chairman of 10ofthose Ltd. and founder of
The Word One to One *
'This is a delightful book and perfect for anyone who thinks
evangelism is beyond their pay grade! Sam Chan motivates and equips
all believers--regardless of gifting or temperament--in how to
reach the hard-to-reach in today's challenging post-Christian
culture. His eight tips are illuminating, thoughtful yet practical,
culturally relevant, biblically faithful, and relationally
effective. I loved the book, and I think you will too!'
* REBECCA MANLEY PIPPERT, author of Stay Salt: The World Has
Changed: Our Message Must Not *
'When I wasn't a Christian, I was sometimes approached by 'that
guy' who eagerly but awkwardly talked to me about Jesus.
Thankfully, I ran into people who knew how not to be 'that guy.'
Also thankfully, Sam Chan helps all of us to not be 'that guy' so
we can point people to the person of Jesus. Sam has taken a heavy
topic and made it into a breezy read that will inform, amuse, and
inspire.'
* ABDU MURRAY, author and speaker, Ravi Zacharias International
