Making Faith Magnetic

Dan Strange has written another terrific, down-to-earth book to help believers engage in fruitful conversations with friends about faith.

One of the most gratifying trends today is the revitalization of Christian apologetics. Not all is good, of course. But the present volume is more than good: it is superb. This wonderful book is as ‘magnetic’ as its title. Daniel Strange appeals to us from an astonishing variety of sources: popular culture, world religions, social trends and, of course, the Holy Bible. He never does this boastfully but is always sympathetic and persuasive. Required reading for anyone wanting to know the credibility of the Christian faith in a confusing time.

How can we reach people who think we’re from another planet? This problematic feeling of disconnectedness in evangelism is addressed biblically, wisely and practically by Dr. Strange in Making Faith Magnetic. But he not only gives you helpful direction; he also encourages you in this important work of evangelism, as well. I highly recommend this.

Building on the success of his first book, , Dr Daniel Strange provides us not only with a model for evangelism and engagement but shows how Jesus—the way, the truth and the life—answers the fundamental questions, or magnetic points, that all human beings ask. In so doing, this book empowers Christians to engage with people and culture.

This is a needed resource for the church today as evangelism and discipleship are increasingly done in a secular context where people are drawn towards biblical themes, yet reluctant to believe that the gospel is actually true, good, and beautiful. Daniel Strange helps the church to reorient our apologetical approach in this modern society, but does so in a way that doesn't compromise the good news of the gospel message.

The best missional material not only informs the head but also transforms the heart and life of the reader. This is one of those books. A must-read for ANYONE with a desire to effectively reach others with the gospel. This is being added to our training curriculum with thanksgiving. It is as incisive as it is insightful—with a clear applicational paradigm for both the Christian in the workplace and the preacher in the pulpit—while remaining totally accessible and down to earth. Making Faith Magnetic will prove to become an old friend and mentor I hope to meet with frequently and whose wisdom I seek to practice often.

Dan Strange is ‘convinced that the church has the opportunity to fill a massive gap in our secular and fragmented market’. Which is why he has given us this perceptive and somewhat unusual book. Using Bavinck, Scripture and an excellent knowledge of contemporary culture, he shows us how we can fill that gap by being magnets for the gospel. The more I read, the more I was drawn to this idea. We have someone wonderful to communicate—but sometimes we struggle to join the dots and make the connections with those around us. If that’s you, then you will find this wee book a stimulating and refreshing guide.

A timely and important book that will help many to share their faith more naturally and effectively through connecting their friends to the gospel message.
