Forget the fire and brimstone approach and the awkward insistence to get other people saved. You will discover how to be yourself without alienating others. Youll learn: How to walk in another persons shoes. Ways to gently invite others to share. The buzz words that will stop a conversation cold. How to navigate todays hot-topics.

You will discover how to invite people to become fully who Jesus wants them to be through this coffee shop approach to friendships in your community.
