It is convicting because it reminds each of us of those times we've shied away from conversations that might have otherwise been life-giving because we worry about being embarrassed. It is empowering because it reminds us that even if the conversation feels awkward, the worst thing that can happen is feeling a little embarrassed. It is encouraging in the Biblical sense of 'infusing courage' during times when we might otherwise walk away from a divine appointment."-Hillary Morgan Ferrer, Intelligent Design ApologistAuthor of Mamma Bear Apologetics"Judy Salisbury is one of the leading apologists of our generation. With this book, she shows every Christian how to share their faith in an engaging and compelling way.
