It seems like no matter how far our society progresses, and no matter how advanced we become through technology, some of the earliest teachings still ring true. This thinking is the basis for one of the latest discipleship books from NavPress, one that is designed to teach Biblical truths without the need for lengthy reading assignments.
Let’s face it; not everyone loves to read. One study suggests that only half of all Americans count reading as a favorite leisure-time activity, so it’s not surprising that many people go for years without learning about the Bible. In the first century, storytelling was rarely done through printed scrolls or manuscripts; stories from the Bible were related through an oral tradition that was part of the culture in those times. Missionaries and small group leaders find that the same methods that worked back then are just as effective today, but few of them know the methods used to teach this way.
Now, one of the most popular new discipleship books from NavPress is here to help everyone learn the secrets of the earliest Christian evangelists. If you have ever wondered how some people seem so gifted with witnessing and relating Biblical truths, they may be using some of the techniques discussed in this book. Truth That Sticks: How to Communicate Velcro Truths in a Teflon World is a book written by two of the best minds in discipleship training – Avery T. Willis and Mark Snowden.Based on their extensive experience with discipleship among cultures with limited literacy, Willis and Snowden decided it was time to let others know about what they learned. Just because someone isn’t adequately literate to follow a text or read Bible commentary doesn’t mean they can’t be on fire for the Lord.
According to a recent article that appeared on Daily Christian Advice, “One of the Best New Discipleship Books Uses the “TruthSticks” Strategy,” the philosophy shared in this book will benefit a variety of different people. Missionaries, small group leaders, evangelists, Sunday School teachers, parents and many others will find that the simple methods of oral storytelling are an effective way to deliver a message to people of all ages, literate or not.
Called an eye-opening book by reviewers on NavPress, Truth That Sticks: How to Communicate Velcro Truths in a Teflon World, is written by two skilled communicators with a heart to reach the unsaved world with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.
