Overview

An uplifting, encouraging reminder that God works through his imperfect people.

Evangelism is crucial, it is urgent, it is exciting, it is wonderful. There is nothing more thrilling than to see God at work in people’s lives and to see men, women, boys and girls discovering the incredible joy and peace that comes from knowing Jesus.

But it is also hard. Really hard. Often, sharing our faith with other people is the area of our Christian lives where we feel at our most useless.

The Bible contains a wealth of theological truth that is a powerhouse of encouragement for evangelism, including the basic truths that God is God and you are you. God is who he has always been: infinite, eternal, unchangeable, all–powerful, at work in his world. You are you; you don’t need to become someone you are not. God has not called a select group of elite Christians to tell the world about Jesus; he has chosen his weak, insecure, ineloquent people. He has chosen you.

Praise for God is God and You are You

Rooted in rich theology, clothed in contemporary language and peppered with helpful illustrations, God is God and You are You is a transfusion for anaemic faith, a shot in the arm for us all as we seek to take seriously our Saviour’s commission to be his witnesses.

—Mike Mellor, Evangelist and Writer

I have been waiting years for this book! Winsome evangelism requires robust content and an enthusiastic messenger, and this book will both inform and motivate. If you have a sense that you just can’t witness, then you have just grasped the first principle of this book. God is powerful and He delights to empower the weak.

—David Meredith, Mission Director, Free Church of Scotland, Inverness

Here is an uplifting and encouraging primer on evangelism. Davis undergirds the disciple of Christ with sound theology, practical helps, and a refreshing outlook.

—Jason Helopoulos, Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan
