Written for adolescents, the purpose of Dare 2 Share is to provide principles that prepare the reader “to share your faith anytime, anywhere, with anyone!” Throughout the book, Stier walks with youth on their level to boldly take on the challenge of communicating the Christian faith in a pluralistic world. He begins by examining sources of motivation for and styles of sharing the gospel. He then outlines practical how-tos of the process. The final section offers brief descriptions of 14 belief systems (from Agnostic to Wiccan) and corresponding strategies for having a conversation with a peer of each orientation. Necessarily simplistic, this book is best used as an overview supplemented by additional resources to address the complexities of interfaith dialogue.
