Christianity Can be Fun
The Unexpected Adventure may be the funniest book you will ever read about Evangelism. There are 42 crisply written chapters of both author’s encounters with someone seeking God-or maybe not. There is something in this for everyone, be they seeker, skeptic, Christian or atheist. The authors describe one or more of the many links the Evangelist places along the path a seeker travels between not seeking God and becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ. Neither all of these links nor all of these paths lead to full-blown success stories–at least not in this book. And that is great, in a way, because while we may be privileged to plant the seeds, we’re not always there for the harvest. But God is. I am proud to disclose that I was there for one harvest (chapter #29) and I will always owe Mark a debt that cannot be repaid. But this book stands on its own and speaks with a fresh–and sometimes funny–voice. Read # 28.

Sharing your faith shouldn't be scarey or tedious. The authors remind us that we should be excited about speaking to others about Christ- and that our most effective testimony is the clear presence of Christ in our words and actions. The title accurately sums the contents of the book. Christianity is the opportunity for a great adventure with God consistantly directing our paths. This is fun and readily applicable reading. It made me realize that sharing the word of Christ isn't difficult, and we are never in it alone.
