Books that shaped me #1 Sharing Your Faith by Selwyn Hughes

As a new Christian in the 1980s I was impacted by reading this book by Selwyn Hughes. At the time Selwyn was a well-known speaker, author of Every Day with Jesus and the drive behind CWR - Crusade for World Revival. He was instrumental in establishing Waverley Abbey House as a training centre in Farnham UK - still flourishing today. His passion for the gospel, his love of sharing the good news with people and his practical wisdom had a lasting effect. His diagram about communicating with people: 55% non-verbal (posture, eye contact etc), 38% tone of voice, 7% actual words is something I think about to this day. His study of Jesus meeting the woman at the well in John chapter 4 I have requently returned to - a masterful study about engaging in conversation with different types of people and being open to the Holy Spirit.
