Sharing Your Catholic Faith Story
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: Tools, Tips, and Testimonies, I show you that evangelization can be simply a matter of letting others know how God has worked in your life.
As I explain the importance of being able to bear witness to God’s love by sharing your faith story, I share my own story of lifelong conversion and show 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. These authors include women and men from the United States and Canada. Plus I share my conversion and renewal stories and Gary Zimak tells a stirring story in the Foreword to the book.
The testimonies
You’ll find first-person testimonies written by Julie Davis, Virginia Pillars, Michael Fraley, Cheryl Ann Wills, John Chomistek, Robert Kurland, Jeannie Ewing, Elizabeth Reardon, Cynthia Gill Bates, Tima Borges, Lisa Nicholas, Karl Erickson, Greg Wasinski, Colleen Spiro, Neil Combs. Sr. Anne Marie Walsh SOLT, Jennifer Fitz, Lyn Mettler, Virginia Lieto, Brian Gill, Melanie Jean Juneau, and Kevin Luskus, all experienced authors and bloggers.
For Margaret Reveira, Bill Alexander, Rob Brull, Bishop Mark Seitz, Gloria Castro, Cyndi Lucky, Marie Therese Kceif, and Diane Roe, this is their first publication experience.
