Publisher's summary

A Publisher’s Weekly and ECPA best seller

Read by the author.

A practical, straightforward guide for Christ-followers who want to talk about Jesus without feeling weird or pushy.

Ten years ago, Hosanna Wong packed her life into suitcases and started traveling the country to talk to people about Jesus. She quickly discovered lies she had believed that held her back from actually sharing God’s love.

It turns out, believing lies that you’re not enough, your story doesn’t matter, and there’s no way for you to make an impact… that’s how not to save the world.

Through faithfully studying God’s Word and fumbling through her own flawed progress, Hosanna uncovered what the Bible says about revealing God’s love in our everyday lives.

With honesty and humor, Hosanna will help you:

• Embrace your unique story to naturally talk about Jesus through your real life and authentic relationships;
• Discover the three most effective steps to take when fighting for a loved one who is in a tough place;
• Overcome the lies that hold you back so you can step into your calling and empower people to encounter God.

It turns out, you can naturally share God’s love in your everyday life. You can fight for those you love, and a world Jesus loves. There is a way for every person you know to realize how valuable they are to God. You’ve been created for it, equipped for it, and you’re ready for it. Let’s go!

Great resource for alternative ways to share your faith.

Excellent, encouraging read!Hosanna has a gift for telling a story with passion and raw emotion. She gives practical applications for sharing God’s love and kindness to a world full of hurting people.

Great book!

If you’ve had hurt or struggles you’re navigating, this is the book to listen to. This has helped me so much with all the hurt I have had in the last year. Thank you so much for these words.

A message woven into a life story of learning.

Hosanna, through a bold telling of how the Lord gently (or not so gently) changed her perspective on how to reach people for Him, moves the reader to examine their own thoughts and actions. She provides a blueprint for seeing opportunities in our daily lives and how to stand alongside those around us. A thoroughly enjoyable listen with a lasting impact.

Outstanding

I was blessed with Hosanna’s message and look forward to reaching more souls for the kingdom! This book is a must read with a true story that will challenge you to use your own story to reach people for God’s kingdom! Let’s start pursuing our purpose of loving people and telling them about Jesus!

Soooooooo good!

THANK YOU!!! I am encouraged and prepared with proper perspective and actionable steps to freeing myself of the desire to “save.”

A Must Listen!

Audible version

I highly recommend listening to this book by Hosanna Wong. The cadence of her voice, being a spoken word artist, is beautiful, there is poetry and lyricism and it's just beautiful to listen to.

The lessons from this book, are ones that I love to hear. It is about God's love for us as humans, and who we are in him, in his love. The reassurance of his love the reassurance of how he saved us, the reassurance in all of our lives on the love God has for people.

There may be those who don't agree with her on many levels but sometimes when an author says something I am not sure about, I'm mole it over in my head and in my heart and I pray about those things period I leave behind what I don't believe it's true for me, and pray about what I feel is left that is true for me and others around me.

A lot of book reviews I read seem to be based upon opinion and I am not a professional book reviewer writer, but this book touched me in several ways emotionally, spiritually, even physically, that I feel it is worth sharing with anyone who is struggling with their self worth or anyone who already knows who they are in Christ.

I had never heard of a spoken word artist before hearing Hosanna Wong speak. I didn't know what it was, but it is beautiful and I love where God has led her through this ministry.

Everyone should read this book

Regardless of your own ethnic background (as the author shares her experiences) this book will cause the reader to look inward & question their own life choices/example(s) and how to be part of the greater good. Even if you don’t believe in the Bible - all the truths she speaks make for a better human race with more grace, mercy and peace.

So good!

Such a great reminder of how much God loves us and the importance representing that love to the world!

Outstanding Female Preacher

Hosanna Wong was the most powerful female preacher I’ve ever heard! That’s says a lot because I’ve been a follower of Jesus for 40+ years!
She’s real and very articulate! Thank you for sharing your heart. Seems like you are an extension of your father’s work only applied to current generations.

Love love love this message so much!!

Hosannah has truly captured so many amazing truths within these pages!! I am probably gonna purchase a hard copy just to be able to go back and underline and return to many of the ways she worded so many things!! Her voice is pleasing however this was a bit of a hard listen due to her speaking stance (you can definitely tell she does poetry slams — extremely well, I might add) but listening to the whole book this way was somewhat difficult to my mind/ears. Fortunately, the info is great and she really dives into so many amazing truths about How NOT to save the world!! I do not regret purchasing this audiobook one bit!! Totally worth it!! 💓 Thanks Hosannah!! May God continue blessing you daily!!
