Andy Bannister explores how to 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 discuss 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. Let Andy help you find easy ways to talk about the true meaning of life with your friends and family.

I love this book. It is simple, practical, and fun. The chapter on asking good questions is worth the price of the whole book. If you're looking for a way to have more meaningful spiritual conversations with people, How to Talk about Jesus without Looking like an Idiot will do exactly as the title suggests.
With his unique blend of humour, wit, and incisive analysis, Andy helps us navigate the opportunities and pitfalls of sharing faith today. This accessible book is a must-read for all Christians who want to talk about Jesus with greater confidence and winsomeness.
We all want to live in such a way as believers that our words and our lives match so that our walk is the same as our talk. But the subject where we see the greatest gap between what Christians say is vital and how their lives reflect that is evangelism. That's why Andy Bannister's book is so refreshing. His humor is infectious, but don't let it fool you. There is a wealth of wisdom and insight in these pages, with some of the most honest, practical, and helpful tools I've seen in a book on evangelism. Read it and laugh at Andy's wit, then put his teaching into practice. The Good News in Jesus is too good not to tell, and Andy will help you.
