You will learn how to be better prepared to answer questions about your faith and how to share the gospel in a way that resonates with other people and their culture. There are many ways we can walk with others and point them to We can use our creativity to create curiosity, and hospitality can mean so much more than a warm welcome. If we teach like Jesus, then we will use everyday moments to impart Scripture, share stories, and offer next steps to those with whom we’re walking alongside.

Once I was in the mindset that each chapter is another way to walk alongside someone exploring Christianity then it became an easier read.
I heard Dave Boden speak on this topic of Evangelism and Discipleship a couple of months ago, and so to read his book, this reinstated what he'd taught then.
It gave a lot of practical examples of what this means and gave me a lot to consider in terms of what I would do when walking alongside someone. The final chapter looked at what to do when bringing someone to Christ, but also what the follow up could look like. As commented in the book, there's a focus nowadays on salvation but not as much on discipleship as maybe there should be.
There were some typos and extra words that were clearly not supposed to be there, but all in all, a good read.
