Faith Steps encourages and equips people of faith to winsomely engage friends and the culture on vital issues--not as partisans but as ambassadors. On issues such as marriage and sexuality, religious freedom, abortion, assisted suicide, stem cell research and human trafficking, we can communicate life-honoring and moral perspectives to secular audiences by appealing to self-interest, outlining the harms and benefits of choices. Rejecting the stifling notion that Christians should remain mute on controversial social issues and shun the political arena, Faith Steps reveals how courageous and compassionate engagement can help our neighbors and transform culture. The book provides practical, in-the-trenches communications strategies to address and engage individuals and society on the most controversial and consequential issues of our day. This updated second edition includes a 13-week Bible study and discussion guide.

Learn how we can make arguments persuasively to our needy culture." Tim Goeglein, Vice President, Focus on the Family: "Jonathan Imbody has a jeweler's eye for public policy and he employs a powerful moral imagination to the most important issues of our time." Jeanne Mancini, President, March for Life: "Jonathan Imbody's Faith Steps is incredibly informative, engaging and thorough--an excellent resource." Bill Wichterman, former Special Assistant to President George W. Bush in the White House: "In his very readable and engaging book, Jonathan Imbody makes the compelling point that truth begets truth, and deception begets deception.

Federal Affairs, National Organization for Marriage: "Jonathan Imbody has written a fabulous book based on his decades of experience in public policy and service to Christians in the public square." Gene Rudd, MD, Sr. VP, Christian Medical Association: "A clear, poignant presentation of how to become a person of faith and have that faith transform your life and culture."
