DO YOU PANIC WHEN ASKED ABOUT YOUR CATHOLIC FAITH?
Every baptized Christian is called to evangelize; yet many Catholics find personal evangelism intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be! In Sharing Your Catholic Faith Story, Nancy Ward shows you that evangelization can be simply a matter of letting others know how God has worked in our life.
As Nancy explains the importance of being able to bear witness to God’s love by sharing your faith story, she shares her own story of lifelong conversion and shows you how to recognize the ways God has been drawing you closer to him throughout your life. You’ll also get ten tips on how to share your story in a way that is natural, effective, and un-intimidating.
In the second part of the book, you’ll read more than thirty personal faith stories by Catholics from all walks of life—converts and “reverts,” clergy, religious, and layfolk who tell their own unique stories of how God has drawn them gradually closer into his loving embrace.
If you’ve ever wished you could be a more effective witness to God’s truth and love, you can learn to share YOUR Catholic faith story. You have a story only you can tell, and someone needs to hear it!
Don’t panic. Read Sharing Your Catholic Faith Story. Do the exercises. Learn to journal. Explore your story. Relive your God-moments of grace. Write your faith bio. Craft a 30-second elevator speech. Keep in mind the ten tips for sharing your story.
Be inspired. Take the Saint John Paul II challenge to be a new witness in the new evangelization, one of those people who has “experienced an area of change in their lives because of their contact with Jesus Christ, and who are capable of passing on that experience to others.” Saint Pope John Paul II.
Fulfill your baptismal calling. Captivate those who inquire why you are so joyful. Live the directive of St. Peter,
“Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence.” (1 Peter 3:15, 16)
