In this wide-ranging analysis of the atheism of our age, Ronald Rolheiser identifies clear obstacles to our appreciation of God such as self-preoccupation, the emphasis on the useful and efficient, and the fast pace of life.

This book frees a man from the shame of not measuring up, to experience the grace and truth of his true Father God. It's not about how to be a man, but knowing the One who rescues and restores men. The reader is not exhorted to obey, but invited to trust; not commanded to do right, but freed to be real; not warned to be strong, but promised his Father God's strength. It's a life-changing, empowering encounter with the Father we long for.

Believers universally affirm that evangelism is a vital part of what God calls them to do, but very few make a practice of doing it. They feel awkward and ill-equipped, either because they've never been trained, or because their lack of interaction with non-Christians prevents them from using and developing the skills they do have. Bill Hybels addresses these concerns and signals the next era in personal evangelism with JUST WALK ACROSS THE ROOM. Drawing on fresh perspectives from the author's own experiences, as well as time-tested and practical illustrations, Just Walk Across the Room encourages and equips readers to routinely initiate spiritual conversations with those who don't know Christ.
