About this listen

In How to Tell the Truth, Preston Perry tells the story of how God chased him. The streets of Chicago were his home, but amid crime and violence God found him and awakened in him a gift for sharing his faith.

On those Chicago streets he encountered all sorts of people who had their own versions of the truth - from Jehovah's Witnesses to Mormons to Hebrew Israelites. That is where Preston discovered not only the importance of the truth but also how to tell the truth in a way that speaks to someone's heart. Sharing our faith is not about winning arguments; it's about winning hearts. And the way we do that is by engaging with friends, neighbours, and co-workers with truth, dignity, and respect.

Set against the powerful testimony of how God stepped into rescue Preston from his early life of crime and drugs, How to Tell the Truth is a hope-filled encouragement to take up Jesus' invitation to 'make disciples of all nations' and enjoy the powerful conversations that result. Unlike any other book on evangelism, How to Tell the Truth will demonstrate how to share your faith with confidence and compassion. Perfect for anyone who loves to talk about Jesus or wishes they could do it better.

'Preston shares his compelling story of becoming a Christian and then provides a road map - through his successes and failures - for how to lovingly and naturally share your faith with others.' (Sean McDowell)

I liked the emphasis on humility, obedience and sharing in gentleness and dignity. Fleshy arguments will accomplish nothing.

Along with biblical scripture, I enjoyed the storytelling the most and the fact that it felt personal and allowed me to enter into Preston’s life and experiences. Would definitely recommend.
