Not Beyond Reach: How to Share Jesus with the Young, the Deconstructed, and the Non-Religious
America has undergone a radical shift. Almost half of Generation Z (born 1997 through 2012) and millennials (born 1981 through 1996) mark the “none” box when it comes to claiming religious affiliation.
How can we share Jesus with the growing number of secular people who question, ignore, or reject beliefs about truth, morality, the Bible, and God that earlier generations built their lives on?
It starts with being a good friend.
In Not Beyond Reach Aaron Pierce explains how discipleship relationships start even before a friend or loved one accepts Christ. There is rich meaning and purpose in your everyday interactions with nonbelievers, no matter where they are in their faith journey! As you build trust over time, you open doors to share the Gospel.
Aaron begins by demystifying the underlying inconsistencies and idols at the heart of secular beliefs. Then he outlines a new playbook for reaching the next generation and others who would not walk into a church.
The process involves intentionality and radical dependence on the Holy Spirit and God to move. It also involves authentic relationships and perceptive listening and communication skills. For those who struggle in this area, Not Beyond Reach provides examples and strategies to help readers progress from friendship conversations to spiritual conversations to Gospel conversations that transform lives.
Contents
Chapter 1 – The Rise of the Post-Christian Culture
Chapter 2 – How to Develop Real Friendships with the Non-Religious
Chapter 3 – How to Start Spiritual Conversations with the Non-Religious
Chapter 4 – How to Introduce Jesus to Non-Religious People
Chapter 5 – Navigating Politics, Sexuality, Science and Other Divisive Subjects
As we seek to reach those we love and care about with Jesus and the message of the cross, Aaron Pierce reminds us they are not beyond reach!
You are the ambassador God is calling right now, right where you are! Not Beyond Reach shows you how.

If you are a Christ follower this is a must read book! So equipping and encouraging and practical. I was so moved, I cried at the end of the book. God has so much more for all of us - it’s time to start reaching the lost and broken all around us!

I couldn’t put this book down! Exactly what I needed to read to step out in faith to reach the lost in my own circles. This book is filled with practical steps and the power of the Holy Spirit.
