Description

Contagious Faith will prepare you to share God's love with others in a way that's authentic, comfortable, and impactful.

As disciples of Christ, we are called to share the gospel, but few of us are naturally comfortable with evangelism. We wrestle with internal fears, a lack of preparation, and the sense that reaching out to others might force us to act like someone we're not. What if we could find a way to talk about Jesus that fits our personalities, makes us feel confident, and ignites a fire in others?

In Contagious Faith, bestselling author and teacher Mark Mittelberg introduces five approaches to evangelism and helps you determine which of them fit best with your unique personality and style:

  • Friendship-Building
  • Selfless-Serving
  • Story-Sharing
  • Reason-Giving
  • Truth-Telling

He also explains in a down-to-earth fashion several key skills that will help you talk about Jesus effectively, illustrating his message with real-life accounts of ordinary believers who applied these principles for extraordinary impact.

With inspiring stories, fresh approaches, and timeless biblical wisdom, Contagious Faith will equip you to make a spiritual impact in the lives of the people around you—even in our increasingly resistant culture.

Contagious Faith will prepare you to share God's love with others in a way that's authentic, comfortable, and impactful.

Advance Praise

“Mark Mittelberg thinks intentionally about evangelism probably more than anyone else I know. His insights are always biblical and creative. That’s why I read everything he writes. I highly recommend this newest book, Contagious Faith. It’s filled with practical advice on how to share your faith in these days.”

RICK WARREN, founding and senior pastor of Saddleback Church, and author of The Purpose Driven Life

“Contagious Faith is my favorite book on evangelism. It is so empowering to know, as Mark explains, that God has wired us uniquely with different ways of doing evangelism. Whether you are an introvert or extrovert, a thinker or a feeler, this book will give you practical ways of sharing your faith that reflect how God has made you to help build his kingdom.”

SEAN MCDOWELL PhD, is a speaker, professor at Biola University, and the co-author of Evidence that Demands a Verdict

“We have the beautiful gift of salvation, but many of us are intimidated about sharing it with others. In Contagious Faith, Mark Mittelberg will guide you through the process of finding the best approach for you, and show you how to share the gospel clearly, effectively, and confidently. You’ll learn how to use your talents, gifting, and personality for the glory of God. This book is winsome, accessible, and jam-packed with solid information!”

ALISA CHILDERS, host of the Alisa Childers Podcast, and author of Another Gospel? A Lifelong Christian Seeks Truth in Response to Progressive Christianity

“Churches have either forgotten that seeking and saving the lost was Christ’s mission or they simply don’t know how to be effective at it. Mark has laid out the most in-depth strategy for churches and individuals to share the Gospel that works. I know this because I have used Mark’s intentional approach at my home church, Christ Church in northeast Louisiana, and it has been a game changer!”

WILLIE ROBERTSON, CEO of Duck Commander and Buck Commander, and star of A&E’s Duck Dynasty

“You are holding more than a book in your hand. You are holding a match that can spark a revival fire that will ignite a family, a community, a workplace, a school, and even a whole nation with the glory and power of God. If you’ll read and apply the practical wisdom in Contagious Faith, there’s no telling how God will work in and through your life.”

MATT BROWN, evangelist, founder of Think Eternity, and author of Truth Plus Love

“Mark Mittelberg is one of my faith heroes and, I believe, among the most important writers of our time. Contagious Faith combines a biblical rationale with practical counsel and dozens of real-life stories. It can only be described as a masterpiece for this messy moment we’re living in. I found it to be a powerful guide for discovering what kind of ‘inner evangelist’ I am—and I’m confident it will help you discover the same for yourself.”

RASHAWN COPELAND, evangelist, founder of Blessed Media, author of Start Where You Are

“Mark Mittelberg’s wonderful new book, Contagious Faith, is a joy to read! Highly motivational and a much needed reminder that God delights in using all of us who follow Jesus. Mark unpacks five biblical faith-sharing styles, and through inspiring stories and examples shows how we can apply them in today’s culture. In a time when people are desperate for good news, Contagious Faith helps us share the Best News Ever!”

REBECCA MANLEY PIPPERT, author of Out of the Saltshaker and Into the World and Stay Salt: The World Has Changed, Our Message Must Not

“The greatest evangelistic tool you have at your disposal is you. Effective evangelism happens by employing yourself in the service of the King to naturally and contextually engage others with the good news of Jesus Christ. If you don’t know how to do this, my friend Mark Mittelberg wrote Contagious Faith to help you find your natural approach. I pray this book will give you the confidence and boldness to share your contagious faith naturally.”

ED STETZER, Executive Director, Wheaton College Billy Graham Center

“In Contagious Faith Mark doesn't bring us another trend. He brings us a foundation for evangelism you'll want to act upon and then share with your friends. His five Faith Styles will surely get you thinking and more importantly, acting.”

CAREY NIEUWHOF, author of At Your Best, Podcaster and Speaker

“We know we should share our faith with others, but we often struggle with a sense of inadequacy and not knowing where to begin. In Contagious Faith, Mark Mittelberg gives us the inspiration and practical tools we need to reach our friends and neighbors with the gospel. He also reminds us that we are all uniquely created by God, with our own strengths and personalities, and that each of us is gifted to share Jesus in different ways. Be assured that God wants to use you to touch your world!”

DR. MICHAEL L. BROWN, host of the Line of Fire radio broadcast, author of Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, 5 volumes.
