Sharing Jesus Without Freaking Out, Second Edition is not a comprehensive theology of evangelism or the methods by which that theological message is communicated. The goal of the book is simply to show what evangelism looks like when it’s part of ordinary, everyday conversations.

The authors show how anyone can make sharing the gospel a commonplace part of their lifestyle. Without the freaking out part.

Over the last decade, Don Everts and Doug Schaupp have listened to the stories of 2,000 postmodern people who have come to follow Jesus. While their stories are diverse and varied, certain common themes emerge.

Everts and Schaupp describe the factors that influence how people shift in their perspectives and become open to the gospel.
