The Shack

You're not alone. Most non-Christians are not ready to do an evangelistic course – but most resources are aimed at those who are. This fills that gap. Ruth Adams and Jan Harney are passionate meeting non-Christians where they are and Unlocking the Door gives you masses of ideas on how to do so. Based around a house, it shows how we all have resources, interests and talents that we can use to build bridges of friendship.
