Preface:

For the past three years I have directed and participated in various conferences at an interdenominational lay center in Southwest Texas called Laity Lodge. I have sensed an exciting new movement of renewal in the lives of Christians from all over America; but I have been increasingly concerned about one recurring type of question asked each week by laymen and women. Most of these people are officers in local Christian congregations; and many have been denominational leaders for years. Yet again and again, when we ask them during a conference to write personal, anonymous questions, they secretly tell us that they do not know how to pray, how to witness to other people about Christ without being embarrassed, how to simply communicate with their wives and families, or how to approach their vocational and social lives as committed Christians.

This book is written to these people. It is a distillation of nine years of struggling alone and with small groups to find a way to live and communicate as a layman the amazing power and love inherent in the Christian Gospel. There are many ways to discuss the doctrines of Christianity; but when it comes to living the Christian life, I have come to believe that each man has only one story to tell. And recorded here is mine.
