Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to share the good news of Jesus, but not sure how to get started? Need some tips on how to break the ice and talk about your faith to family, friends and acquaintances? "100 Conversation Starters: Practical Help for Sharing Your Faith" is a wonderful "how to" that will provide you with ways to easily talk about your faith in everyday conversation that is not off-putting or threatening. Understanding and following these conversation starters is a stress-free way to help you reach a deeper level in conversing with others without the fear of offending them. You will learn to share your faith in a truly authentic way that those around you will come to appreciate. In a recent survey, a third of all believers asked had never once shared the gospel, or even their testimony, with a non-believer. Practical help is needed. That's why this book was written. Most of us have experienced the frustration of not knowing what to say or how to get started. But we can learn to start conversations by using associations from everyday life; to share our faith in a way that is easy for others to understand. Jesus himself did this. He invited fishermen to become fishers of men. To a woman drawing water from a well, He offered living water that would never run dry. With the help of the Holy Spirit, Jesus knew just what to say and how to relate to every person He met. The same Spirit that enabled Jesus to hear and perceive what His Father wanted said and done is now inside of each of His disciples! God often will bring people into your life just so you can share your faith with them. "100 Conversation Starters" will help you do that.

Book excerpt: Whether you’re newly together and eager to make it work or a longtime couple looking to strengthen and deepen your bond, Eight Dates offers a program of how, why, and when to have eight basic conversations with your partner that can result in a lifetime of love. “Happily ever after” is not by chance, it’s by choice– the choice each person in a relationship makes to remain open, remain curious, and, most of all, to keep talking to one another. From award-winning marriage researcher and bestselling author Dr. John Gottman and fellow researcher Julie Gottman, Eight Dates offers an ingenious and simple-to-implement approach to effective relationship communication. Here are the subjects that every serious couple should discuss: Trust. Family. Sex and intimacy. Dealing with conflict. Work and money. Dreams, and more. And here is how to talk about them—how to broach subjects that are difficult or embarrassing, how to be brave enough to say what you really feel. There are also suggestions for where and when to go on each date—book your favorite romantic restaurant for the Sex & Intimacy conversation (and maybe go to a yoga or dance class beforehand). There are questionnaires, innovative exercises, real-life case studies, and skills to master, including the Four Skills of Intimate Conversation and the Art of Listening. Because making love last is not about having a certain feeling—it’s about both of you being active and involved.

Download or read book 25 Conversation Starters written by Dre Baldwin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversation is simple and easy. We share things with others, and others share things with us. It doesn't always work out this simply, of course, but this is who we are at our cores. Humans are social creatures; we share. Verbal communication played a significant role in all your biggest life achievements. The sexiest guy or girl you've dated. The most money you ever made. The happiest you've ever been. Didn't all of these come, in whole or in part, from some amount of conversation? Who are your best friends? Your closest relatives? And how did they become so close and important to you? From conversation! So, knowing how important conversation is, why do so many of us struggle with it? We think too damn much. About?-What the other person might think of us. -How we might sound stupid. -If this is a dumb question. -Possibly being turned down for something. -The fear of the unknown. Eliminate these fears, and conversation is easy. These fears are mostly based in a lack of knowledge. A lack of knowledge in how to start a conversation and how to keep conversation flowing. But you picked up this book. So that fear will be gone very soon. ***Verbal communication is the skill which keeps humans at the top of the food chain. Without it, we would be prey to the many bigger, stronger and faster animals we see on National Geographic. The most successful people we know (of) are the best communicators. They're the people who can best get their point across. The ones who are good at persuasion. People can make people feel things - happiness, anger, sadness, motivation. The best communicators make their every communication feel like a personal conversation with you. True or not true? Since you agree, would you also agree that an improvement in your conversational skills would boost your success in life? Good. You have the perfect tool for doing so. This book shares 25 great conversation starters guaranteed to get people talking. These questions will make your conversation companion think and talk more. These are not the usual stereotypical, boring questions bad conversationalists use all the time, such as Where are you from? Or, What do you do? These are pattern-interrupting ways to get a person deep in thought and talking. Why is this important? Questions that make people think get their attention. Attention and time are the most valuable currencies we deal in. The more you can talk with someone, the better you can learn how to help him or her. Helping people creates value, and we will pay high prices for value. Unique, thought-provoking conversation makes people remember you. I doubt you want to be a forgotten person. These conversation starters facilitate further conversation, which you can leverage to get your point across, build rapport, learn about others, win friends and influence people. To this point, what about this book has you most excited? Why is that? ***Each chapter is headed with the conversation starter itself, and then a simple background on the value of the question, written in italics. Then I'll give more context into what results to expect from question and what to listen for. I'll share a few Follow Up questions to use, based on the answers you get. It's important you learn to weave the follow-ups into conversation, and not sound like an interviewer or news reporter with a memorized script you're reciting. At the end of each chapter you'll get a Best Used tip of best times to employ each question and why. Warning: Do not use these conversation starters as a memorized, systematic way of talking to people. Learn them all and learn to use them together and independently as needed. The more you go over each, you will develop a feel for when and how to use each. Let's get started and not waste time. There are people to meet and connections to make.
