To Help Train the Christian

General Handbooks

	How to Give Away Your Faith - Paul Little has sold a million copies helping Christian share their faith. This is a classic and will encourage the tongue-tied Christian to be friendly and natural. Aimed particularly at the college student but helpful for all.
	Out of the Saltshaker - Becky Pippert is at her best when she is helping us relax, be open and be honest as we tell others about Jesus. There are also practical chapters on how to share in a conversational style. Also aimed at the intellectual college student but helpful to all.
	Share Jesus Without Fear – The strength of this book is its excellent questions and tips for using the Scriptures. William Fay’s style is difficult for the tongue-tied Christian to imitate, but we can learn from his lists of questions and responses.

Books with a Specific Focus

	When God is the Life of the Party - Do you like to have a good time? Use summer and Christmas gatherings to bring the gospel to unsaved friends! An excellent book on a specific method of reaching out.
	Going Public With Your Faith - A lousy title but a great book about bringing the gospel to a huge mission field - the workplace. Like Evangelism for the Tongue-Tied, this book argues that evangelism is not an event but a process. And the workplace is a primary setting for kingdom work. An excellent book to read after Evangelism for the Tongue-Tied!
	Your Home a Lighthouse - If you could see yourself hosting a monthly Bible study in your home or elsewhere, this is a helpful handbook. Helpful for those who have relationships but don’t know what to do next.
	Divine Appointments - Great stories about viewing your day as a chance to have divine, Holy Spirit guided appointments. Illustrates building genuine relationships as you go about your day, ready for the Holy Spirit to open a door for the message.
	Conspiracy of Kindness - A simple approach for a church group to reach out through acts of kindness, overcoming barriers of cynical people. Tongue-tied Christians could do some of these activities and watch the Lord open doors. Our church has used these principles.
	Lifestyle Evangelism - For the tongue-tied Christian who needs help building relationships. Dr. Joe Aldrich explains how to be the kind of person who attracts people to Jesus by their lifestyle showing you how to establish common ground with the unsaved, build relationships, and live a life that exemplifies the character of Jesus!
