You’re an Angel - Being Yourself and Sharing Your Faith by Peter Neilson and David Currie This book is brilliant. What I really like about it is the way in which it covers so many things but makes it all accessible. You really can be yourself when sharing your Christian faith: and this book is a handy guide to show you how to do it. This is not an academic treatise, nor a simple ‘to do’ list. It is a conversation between two friends who obviously know each other well. Think of ‘The Two Ronnies’. One is more serious while the other tells the story, often in a vulnerable and light hearted way. Throughout you get headings like ‘over to you’, and at the end ‘A word from David’ and ‘A word from Peter’, which reminds me ‘It’s a good night from me and a good night from him’ .So, with a light touch they cover serious subjects like, ‘vulnerability’, identity’ and mystery’ in a vibrant, readable and highly applicable way. Based on the Robin Gamble observation that ‘angel’ is in the middle of the word ‘ev-angel-ism’ and that we are an angel when we do something good for someone else, Neilson and Currie tell us to ‘relax and just be yourself’: and you don’t have to be angelic. Currie rightly asks if another book on evangelism is worth writing, but this one is certainly worth having to help people in the Unfinished Task …and as you read it you might try to work out who I thought was Barker and who was Corbett!
