Twinkle: Sharing Your Faith One Light at a Time

by Elisa Morgan

Being a light in dark places is always a challenge. When it comes to sharing faith, many people bump up against their fears and go no further: I don't know all the answers; I don't want to offend; I don't want to get involved. These thoughts are all very real and all very intimidating. "But God wouldn't invite us to be part of something impossible," says Elisa Morgan, CEO of MOPS International. We can share our faith in simple and everyday ways. We may not think we know all the answers, but we can be real. We may fear that we'll mess up, but we also can trust God with the outcome of our efforts. Twinkle: Sharing Your Faith a Little Light at a Time will guide readers away from thoughts that prevent them from sharing God's love and shows what they can do to shine their faith every day. With real-life stories, Scripture references, and helpful advice, Elisa Morgan shows today's women practical ways they can draw others to Christ. Because a little light can go a long way.

[Sherrey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Elisa Morgan's book has certainly opened my eyes to all the ways I've been missing to share my faith with others. Really sound, solid Biblical foundation is provided to affirm that God is a vital part of who we are and what we share about that relationship with others.
