Summary

Do you want to fight for the people you love and show others how valuable they are to God? There is a way, and you are more equipped than you know。 

Ten years ago, Hosanna Wong packed her life into suitcases and started traveling the country to talk to people about Jesus。 Along the way she discovered lies she had believed that held her back from actually sharing God’s love。 Lies such as


your story is not that important,
you’re not qualified, and
it would be best if you waited until everything is perfect。 
That’s how not to save the world。 The truth is better。 

Through faithfully studying God’s Word and fumbling through her own flawed progress, Hosanna uncovered what the Bible actually says about revealing God’s love in our everyday lives。

With honesty and humor, Hosanna will help you:


embrace your unique story to naturally talk about Jesus without being weird or pushy,
discover the three most effective steps to take when fighting for a loved one who is in a tough place, and
overcome the lies that hold you back so you can empower people to encounter a God they’ve never known。
It turns out, you can naturally share God’s love in your everyday life。 You can fight for those you love and a world Jesus loves。 There is a way for every person you know to realize how valuable they are to God。 You’ve been created for it, equipped for it, and you’re ready for it。 Let’s go!

Hosanna Wong shares lessons about living the Christian life she has learned through growing up a preacher’s kid in an unconventional church in a tough area of town, being called to unconventional ministry when she graduated from college (because how many Christian spoken word ministries do you know of, and how many of them are Asian American women), and just going through the highs and lows of being on this planet。 Through stories from her own life, she swallows her pride and shares things she h Hosanna Wong shares lessons about living the Christian life she has learned through growing up a preacher’s kid in an unconventional church in a tough area of town, being called to unconventional ministry when she graduated from college (because how many Christian spoken word ministries do you know of, and how many of them are Asian American women), and just going through the highs and lows of being on this planet。 Through stories from her own life, she swallows her pride and shares things she has learned about what God has called us to as Christians and what He hasn’t called us to。 Best practices, and pitfalls。 Triumphs and failures。 With humor, humility, and very readable stories, she shares how to get to a better place。I really appreciate how Hosanna Wong can speak to the young adult generation。 She throws in modern slang and references (and interpretations for those of us older people who may need help), but it never detracts from the message。 And by my saying that, I hope you don’t think this is just for teens or those just out of college。 What is in here is timeless truth that the Church needs to hear or be reminded of。 Her call to remember what God has really called us to as the Church and to realign our priorities is supremely important。 And you can tell it is written from a place of love and humility。 There are tough truths in here, but they are presented in a way easy to swallow, and there are practical ideas of how to apply each chapter。 I am absolutely thrilled to be able to add an Asian American Christian woman to our library shelves as soon as this comes out。 The international school I work at serves a predominantly Asian community, many of whom are racially mixed like Hosanna, and it will blow some of them away to know that there are Asian American women who write Christian books and get published。 But the best parts of this book aren’t because of who the author is。 The best parts are that it presents truth and encourages everyone to be who God has really made them to be。 It honors God, and I believe will be helpful to many。 Highly recommended。Notes on content [based on ARC]: No language issues or sexual content。 The author’s father died pretty young and she talks about how that affected her and her family。I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This was an inspiring and fun book to read。 Saying that, I also felt like this is one of the most powerful book on evangelizing I have read。 I always felt that I wasn't doing all I could for God because I do not go out on the mission field。 However, the mission field can be at your own doorstep。 We are asked to take care of those around us, just as Jesus did for everyone around him。 We are to care and love others as well as share Jesus's love with them。 This involves wanting to listen to other's This was an inspiring and fun book to read。 Saying that, I also felt like this is one of the most powerful book on evangelizing I have read。 I always felt that I wasn't doing all I could for God because I do not go out on the mission field。 However, the mission field can be at your own doorstep。 We are asked to take care of those around us, just as Jesus did for everyone around him。 We are to care and love others as well as share Jesus's love with them。 This involves wanting to listen to other's stories and being willing to share your own。I love the simplicity of this book and the variety of "call out" that are included throughout。 These call outs emphasize the high points in a fun way。I recommend this book most highly for all。I was given this book by NetGalley and Thomas Nelson--W Publishing。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Wow, what to say about this powerful, emotional, empowering and realistic book! I highly recommend this book to all who have felt called to witness the love of Jesus。 5 stars does not seem like enough!Such a powerful message, simple yet profound and often overlooked。 The premise of this book is to demonstrate that it is not our role to “save” the world, Jesus already did that for us。 Our job is to love our neighbors, care for them, connect with them, and share Jesus's love for them。 This is such Wow, what to say about this powerful, emotional, empowering and realistic book!
