Publisher's Description
WARNING: This is not just another book on evangelism. It's a simple idea of evangelism through friendship first, and the opportunities to share your faith that follow. It will bring friendships you already have to a new levels, and create opportunities for new, authentic friendships with those you will eventually meet. OUT: Evangelism as sales pitch, as conquest, as warfare, as ultimatum, as threat, as proof, as argument, as entertainment, as show, as monologue, as something you have to do. IN: Disciple-making as conversation, as friendship, as influence, as invitation, as companionship, as challenge, as opportunity, as conversation, as dance, as something you get to do. You're more ready for this than you realize, and so are your friends!

“My only question after reading Brian’s new book is: Does April have any other writings published? But seriously, Brian has helped rescue us from pushy sales techniques, 17 verses of “Just as I Am” while we wait for those in the balcony, and of course big hair. This book makes me want to reach for the volume knob…”
“McLaren offers fresh perspectives on the practice of evangelism in the postmodern setting, proposing a metaphorical shift from “evangelism as argument” to “evangelism as conversation” in a clear, informed, and engaging way.”
“Let me read anything Brian McLaren writes, and I’ll be thinking in new ways immediately. Brian speaks with more practical clarity than any author I know who’s engaging the postmodern discussion. And just as he did with A New Kind of Christian, the dialogical approach in More Ready Than You Realize will pull you along and put meat on the bones of this critical discussion.”
