Every Believer Confident: Apologetics for the Ordinary Christian

For the average Christian who longs to share their faith effectively but doesn’t know where to begin, Every Believer Confident is the ultimate guidebook.

All believers are called to make disciples and “give an answer” when objections are raised against the faith. Most Christians want to share and defend their beliefs, but they often feel ill-equipped. They desire to reach friends, family, coworkers, and classmates with the good news of Jesus Christ, but lack confidence and skill. They want to be like Jesus and effectively engage the lost with the powerful truth of the gospel. They just don’t know how.
