by Tod E. Bolsinger

Join the journey to genuine faith.

Nearly everyone has met someone who preaches the life of Jesus but doesn't live like him. Who says the words but doesn't act on them. Who tells but doesn't show.

If such encounters have made you gun-shy when it comes to talking about your faith, if you want your words to be taken seriously, or if you want to share the gospel without saying a word, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get dirty. It's show time.

Tod Bolsinger is pastor of San Clemente Presbyterian Church in California. He holds a Ph.D. in Theology and a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary, and is an adjunct professor of practical theology at Fuller. Tod is author of It Takes a Church to Raise a Christian. He is a die-hard Angels baseball fan who reads avidly, runs on the beach regularly, skis enthusiastically, fishes occasionally, surfs badly, and golfs never.

This is a wise and very worthwhile book. It offers us an inspiring progression of spiritual guidance to an authentic practice of our faith. Max De Pree, Herman Miller, Inc.

Show Time gets down to business! Though Tod Bolsinger is a careful biblical scholar and a Ph.D. theologian, he writes for real people who yearn to live out their faith in the real world each day. This book is packed with biblical, practical, inspiring wisdom. Read this book, and then buy a bunch for your friends. Mark Roberts, Irvine Presbyterian Church

Tod Bolsinger wants you to be comfortable and convincing when taking your Christian faith out in public. He takes us along with him in his own journey of learning how to 'make a sermon walk.' This is a book to be read with relish, chewed on in discussion groups, and digested slowly for its nutritious value in growing weak faith into strong love. Ray S. Anderson, Fuller Theological Seminary

There's an old saying: I'd rather see a sermon than hear one. It's also true that it's easier to hear a sermon than to be one! How can we become the kind of Christ-followers whose faith is contagious, whose lives make others thirsty for God, who know in our own hearts that our faith is working? Todd Bolsinger addresses these crucial questions with biblical integrity, personal insight, real life examples, and an easy-to-grasp style. Read Show Time--you will see how Christ can show through you in a 'show me' world! Leighton Ford
