Have natural conversations with your friends and family about your faith. Discover four key questions that invite people into engaging discussions about what matters most in life.

Why is it so difficult to talk to our closest friends about what’s most important to us? Our true identity? Our hopes and dreams? Our true purpose and faith? Andy Bannister struggled with that question himself. As a twentysomething, he operated as an Undercover Christian at his job. He knew it didn’t make sense, and he spent the following decades helping countless people find easy, natural ways to talk about the fundamental questions of life with the ones they love. How to Talk about Jesus without Looking like an Idiot explores

  • why you don’t need to be afraid or uncomfortable,
  • the four questions that help people open up,
  • the five steps to respond to tough questions, and
  • how to effortlessly bring faith into a conversation.
It doesn’t need to be awkward. Everyday conversations that open the door to evangelism can be painless and natural. Let Andy help you find easy ways to talk about the true meaning of life and learn how to share the gospel with your neighbors, friends, and family.

* "Heroes: Five Lessons From Whose Lives We Can Learn" — an exciting and fast-moving looking at the lives of five incredible giants of the Christian faith.

* "The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist (or: The Dreadful Consequences of Really Bad Arguments)" — a very funny (but also quite serious) engagement with the New Atheism.

* "Healthy Faith and the Coronavirus Crisis" — Andy wrote a chapter in this multi-author volume looking at how we can engage in evangelism even in an age of lockdown.

* "Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God?" — a popular, witty, and engaging look at this vital question.

* "How To Talk About Jesus Without Looking Like an Idiot" — a very funny, wise, and practical book designed to help Christians talk about their faith more naturally and confidently.

A very practical, down-to-Earth, inspiring guide to sharing your faith. I would highly recommend this book to those who have the desire but perhaps not the how-to. And, the footnotes are a must read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Many good questions and answers. Also strategic.
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024

We liked the questions and answers from daily life, and also the recommended strategies for us who do not evangelize as boldly as we should.
If there would have been less efforts of being funny we would have rated the book five stars.

I really really enjoyed the book, but also felt compelled to act after reading it. I loved the personal stories and illustrations, and the section on using questions in sharing your faith was incredible! A must read for anyone wanting to take the Commission of Jesus to their neighbors and the nations!

This is the best book on evangelism I have read. It actually inspired me as well as giving me new ideas. I loved Andy Bannister’s informal and humorous style (especially the jokes in footnotes). Thank you Andy.
