Sharing Your Everyday Faith Every Day
Evangelism Gets More Real, Less Awkward
Instead of an awkward experience, sharing your faith can be a simple, everyday part of life. As you grow in your love for Jesus, sharing him with others will overflow into every conversation. Casual interactions will turn into significant moments that bring the gospel into all your relationships.

"If evangelism seems difficult, or if you have ever said, "I don't have the gift of evangelism,' you will wish you had read this book a long time ago. The Get Real paradigm is anchored in the Scriptures, and especially in the Gospel accounts of Jesus's own process of evangelism. Get Real explains in easy-to-understand-and-apply ways that evangelism can be a natural part of a Christian's daily routine. Get Real is the material we use to train our missionaries at Mission to the World, and it is appreciated by the missionaries because it works."
Paul Kooistra, Coordinator, Mission to the World
"If you have one book on evangelism in your library, it should be this one. It's not what you expect. It's about life, relationships, and godly inefficiency"and it's about a God who loves us so much that it shows. This is "real deal" evangelism that breaks the rules and opens a floodgate of love and mercy to a desperate and needy world. Reading Dr. Leonard's book is like a drink of cold, clear water refreshing a thirsty soul . . . ours and theirs."
Steve Brown, Key Life radio program Bible teacher; professor, Reformed Seminary; author of Three Free Sins: God's Not Mad at You.
"John is a gifted evangelist, which could be intimidating as we watch him in action, but, somehow, he immediately inspired me. As I was reading I got excited about all kinds of conversations up ahead. Being real, listening, and always looking for opportunities for a party"I can do that."
Edward T. Welch, PhD, CCEF Faculty; psychologist; best-selling author
"When is the last time you talked to someone about Jesus? What comes to mind as you think about that question? Guilt? Frustration? Read John Leonard's Get Real to encourage you to think differently about the people and opportunities Jesus brings into your life. Hear great stories from John's experience reaching out to Muslims in France and as a church planter in Philadelphia. Read this book if you want to fall in love with the grace and power of the gospel all over again."
Dr. Tim Witmer, Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia; author of The Shepherd Leader
"This is simply the best book on personal outreach I have ever seen. John Leonard has written for the evangelistically ungifted. Especially beginning in chapter 4, I sensed, "This material is going to change me.' And it has."
Steven Estes, Pastor; co-author of When God Weeps and A Better December: Proverbs to Brighten Christmas
