Publisher's Synopsis
It Starts with the Heart Before Jesus ascended back into heaven, He told us to go and make disciples of all nations. We can't do that without sharing the gospel. Sharing the good news with others can be intimidating. But gospel conversations are not about winning arguments or trampling your opponent with amazing apologetic comebacks. Evangelism begins with the heart—your heart and the heart of the person you're sharing the good news with. When your heart is focused on God's love for those who don't know Him, then you are best equipped and ready to win souls for Him.
