Story
Dan Grider coauthored the best selling book The God Questions. This book, Starfish Movement, will show you how to fully engage with the original movement that Jesus launched. You’ll discover what it looks like to engage in launching a movement whether you are a leader or a new Christ follower. Most of us have read about the movement that Jesus launched. We just don’t know how to continue what he began, other than to imitate the American church model. What if we discovered how to fully participate in the movement that Jesus originally intended?

As Christ followers we believe in both a visible material realm, and an invisible spiritual realm. We must stake our claim as those who live and walk in both the visible and invisible worlds simultaneously. To lead the unique organism that is the body of Christ, whether in a church, a business or our families, true spiritual leadership must know how to navigate both of these realms, and in particular, understand the intersection between these two worlds.

The world has changed in so many ways, and many of us no longer feel confident when it comes to evangelism, especially with the rise of hostility toward Christian points of view. Keeping quiet is becoming our default position. Yet the world has not changed in one way: It still needs Jesus. Renowned evangelist Becky Pippert draws on decades of conversations about Christianity around the world to call and equip ordinary Christians to share Jesus through their ordinary day-to-day conversations.

Translating God serves as an inspirational guide book that puts God's great love back into prophetic ministry as a primary goal full of real life stories that articulate the culture of love behind God's heart for the prophetic. So much of the prophetic ministry is esoteric, but this book brings balance without taking away the desire to see the powerful nature of God displayed. On top of that, it's biblically based and is supported by scripture throughout each story.

Crucial Conversations- Tools for talking when stakes are high.
The “Sample” does Not give any indication that this book is very religion based. I wanted the same title but by Kerry Patterson. Apparently the book of the same title is not available on Audible. Now I have to remove the book from my audible, quite annoying.

Practical useful advice and tactics!
Many have had that encounter of spilling our guts trying to convert someone, only for our words to fall on deaf ears. Dan has the remedy for the tried and failed gut spilling in having crucial conversations instead. His practical advice in just the first 4 chapters will sharpen your tools and tactics, showing you effective ways to evangelize.
I can't agree with his Lordship Salvation sentiments in the latter of Audible chapter 7, all of 8, and sprinkled all throughout the book. [Look up Lordship Salvation controversy, not definition. The classical definition of LS never applies the way people apply it as a 2 step salvation process instead of a 1 step]
Other than that I really recommend the book. This is going to help me wordsmith my testimony in a way that will become immensely less awkward and will be more effective to hold someone's attention. And the spiritual gameplan in the latter chapters will help one stay on target and apply these crucial conversations for furthering the Kingdom of God.
Read on for more on LS. From Matt Slick at C.A.R.M.
"If lordship salvation is meant to say that a person must believe the gospel and also repent of sin in order to be saved, then it is teaching that salvation is not by faith alone in Christ alone. Instead, it would be by faith and also the act of turning from sin as a person makes Jesus Lord of "all" of his life. In other words, salvation is obtained by faith in God and turning from sin--which amounts to keeping the Law. This would be, of course, false. Now, we are not saying a person need not repent of his sins. Instead, repentance is the result of God's regenerative work in us...
...it is God who regenerates us (2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Peter 1:3; John 1:13), and that the necessary result of his regenerative work in us is our faith and repentance. God grants that we believe (Philippians 1:29) and grants that we repent (2 Timothy 2:25). Therefore, our position is that repentance is a necessary result of God's work in us (yet it's also something that we do). The issue of Lordship salvation incorrectly addresses the order of salvation by implying that faith leads to regeneration, which leads to repentance. I believe this mistakenly puts the focus on man's ability instead of God's work, and this is where the error of Lordship salvation arises. The truth is that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Repentance from sin is the result of salvation--not a contributing factor to it.
If it is God who grants us repentance (2 Timothy 2:25) and faith (Philippians 1:29), then there is no room for the Lordship salvation controversy. Instead, we understand that the Lordship of Christ and our repentance are both the natural result of the work of God--not the work of our faith and repentance."
