Who me, Evangelize?: A Simple Guide to Living and Sharing Your Faith
Popes Paul, John Paul II, Benedict, and Francis have all stressed the need for evangelization. But how do we do this? Ring doorbells and hand out tracts? Buttonhole people at the airport or the supermarket to talk about Jesus? No! says Carole Eipers in this excellent book. We don t have to get in people s faces we are already evangelizing by the way we live our lives. We just need to realize this and live our faith as meaningfully and deeply as we can.
Filled with humor and stories from Eipers’ own life, this concise but comprehensive guide offers a wealth of insights and practical hints that will make evangelizing seem real. Each chapter concludes with a classroom reflection or activity for catechists and teachers, as well as ideas for parents to help become effective evangelizers at home.
