SHARING YOUR CATHOLIC FAITH STORY: TOOLS, TIPS & TESTIMONIES

By Nikki White, editor of Catholic Neighbors

Go out to all the world, and tell the Good News. Our Lord’s words may sound simple enough, but in practice, it often seems like the hardest thing in the world. Even setting aside our automatic nervousness, we are faced with questions like “Where do I begin? How do I begin?”

Nancy Ward is a local author, and would be the first to describe herself as shy and introverted. But she nevertheless answered God’s call to evangelize, and enables you to do the same in her brand new book Sharing Your Catholic Faith Story. In it, she walks you through keeping a spiritual journal, gives helpful tips for effective communication, and teaches you how to identify and develop your own faith story. And you won’t be making this journey alone; she includes 30 different testimonies and conversion stories to inspire and teach you.

This wonderful book emphasizes the power of storytelling and developing personal connections with those you approach. By sharing and listening, we expand our understanding of others and of the Faith. Christ has given the Great Commission, and we all have a responsibility to evangelize and build the Kingdom of God. As Nancy discovered, although our “conversion story is personal, it is not private.”

Most of all, by sharing your faith story with others, you celebrate the wonderful, unique You that God has created as part of his all-perfect, all-loving plan! “Whether you realize it or not,” Nancy notes, “you… have a story of what God has done to transform your life.” So check out this book today, and give God the opportunity to work through you to enrich your own spiritual life and inspire others!
