Bridges 101; Gas Pumps, Banana Bread and Other Attitudes

Bridges 101 is for the non-Billy Grahams among us…for those who would like to share their faith in Christ but are not comfortable doing so. A reader from New Jersey bought the book, then wrote, “Thank you for your book, Bridges 101. I bought it because it seemed to be the answer to my desire to know how to reach out to others without fainting!” Maybe you have felt that way, too. An estimated 85% of those who attend church claim that they are there because of the influence of a friend or relative and not because someone cornered them and “convinced” them. A key truth developed in the book is, “The kingdom advances among friends.” Yet so many find it difficult to know what to say or what to do. Here is help. Here is courage. Courage to be contagious rather than aggressive. Maybe you’ve never attended a Bathroom Party? Most people haven’t but you’ll learn how Ruthie Jacobsen and her husband used a bathroom remodel in their home to create a low-stress witnessing event. Did you know that feeding coins in someone’s expired parking meter can be a “witnessing event?” Eleven-time author Ruthie Jacobsen has written a book that will bring a smile to your face. Bridges 101 is filled with stories of simple, non-threatening, joyous ways to build bridges, caring bridges, to those with whom they wish to share their faith in Christ. Each of the eleven chapters opens up possibilities you may never have thought of.
