Description
flu?en?cy / noun
:the ability to speak a language easily and effectively
Even if they want to, many Christians find it hard to talk to others about Jesus. Is it possible this difficulty is because we're trying to speak a language we haven't actually spent time practicing?
To become fluent in a new language, you must immerse yourself in it until you actually start to think about life through it. Becoming fluent in the gospel happens the same way-after believing it, we have to intentionally rehearse it (to ourselves and to others) and immerse ourselves in its truths. Only then will we start to see how everything in our lives, from the mundane to the magnificent, is transformed by the hope of the gospel.
Teaches Christians how to become "fluent" in the gospel in conversations with believers and unbelievers alike
Offers practical ways to apply the gospel to everyday life
Includes engaging anecdotes and powerful illustrations alongside clear biblical teaching
Written by the author of Saturate: Being Disciples of Jesus in the Everyday Stuff of Life
Author is a well-known pastor and the visionary leader behind Saturate (SaturatetheWorld.com)
Foreword written by Jackie Hill-Perry
