One of the biggest reasons Christians dont share Christ with others is fear. Fear of being ridiculed. Fear of being rejected. Fear of offending someone. Fear of not knowing enough. But fear can be overcome, claim authors William Fay and Ralph Hodge in their Bible study Share Jesus Without Fear.

Fay, an evangelist, is no stranger to the fear that can be encountered when actively participating in personal evangelism, and he shares freely from his experiences. These first-hand accounts help make the book both readable and interesting.

Share Jesus Without Fear is designed to be studied over a three-week period, and offers a few pages of examples, exercises and information to consider each day. The first week takes readers through the five keys to overcoming fear: passion, prayer, partnership, power and preparation. Week two teaches how to use simple questions to turn people toward faith in Christ and let the Bible provide answers to those questions. The final week of the study presents five closing questions that help you encourage people as they take the final step and actually ask Christ to be their Lord.

Throughout the study, the authors emphasize the importance of listening to what people have to say. People love to express their opinions People are hungry to talk about their spiritual questions. They often hide this hunger behind false indifference or terse answers.

To help overcome any other barriers, Fay and Hodge offer advice on how to counter certain recurring brush-offs and rebuttals, such as I have to try harder to measure up first, Becoming a Christian means giving up the things I enjoy and God helps those who help themselves.

Share Jesus Without Fear is a great way to prepare yourself, a group of friends or any other group of Christians to be more vocal when opportunities to talk about Christ arise.
