Heather & Ashley Holleman: Living a Life That Invites Others to Jesus

SENT: Living a Life That Invites Others to Jesus
(Moody, 2020)

WHO: Heather Holleman, who teaches advanced writing courses at Penn State, and Ashley Holleman, who serves as the national director of Cru’s graduate student ministry.

THEY SAY: “He sent others to you. Now, he sends you.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book invites readers to reimagine evangelism as opportunities to get to—not have to—share their faith in a way that feels natural for who they are.

THE PROGRESSION: Part 1, “Believing That God Has Sent You,” encourages readers to believe that God is at work, believe in the gospel and believe in supernatural power.
In Part 2, “Living Like a Sent Person,” the authors explain the importance of seeing the people around us, discovering some things about their lives, see where God is working and joining him in that work.
Part 3, ”Best Practices for Everyday Evangelism,” explains how we should live a life of expectation because God is still drawing people to himself today.

Sent represents a biblical philosophy of living that reshapes the way we think about why we’re here on earth and what purpose God has for us as worshipers and followers of Jesus Christ.”
