About this item

The story of Preston Perry’s path toward God. A hope-filled apologetics and evangelism book written by the popular cohost of the podcast, With the Perrys. Includes a foreword by Jackie Hill Perry.

In this compelling and gripping book, Preston tells the story of how God chased him. The streets of Chicago were his home, and it was there that he encountered all sorts of people who had their own versions of the truth―from Jehovah Witnesses to Mormons to Hebrew Israelites. That is where Preston discovered not only the importance of the truth but how to tell the truth in a way that speaks to someone’s heart. Sharing our faith is not about winning arguments; it’s about winning hearts. And the way we do that is by engaging with friends, neighbors, and coworkers around us about our beliefs with truth, dignity, and respect.

With How to Tell the Truth, you will:

be inspired by Preston’s own incredible story about how God transformed his life forever by showing him the very heart of what it means to be a Christian;
be equipped with practical and easy ways to reach your friends and your neighbors with the truth of the gospel with kindness and love;
be challenged to respond to God’s call to be bold. Eternity is at stake.

This book is like no other book you’ve heard. Preston’s own story, including his successes and failures, is woven throughout the book to help us see how urgent our task is―and how powerful our God is.

A Practical Guide to Emotional Intelligence and Wisdom

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2024

Preston excels in highlighting the significance of exercising Godly wisdom, which he beautifully illustrates through the practice of emotional intelligence in evangelism. His use of compelling anecdotes and practical steps effectively guides readers on how to engage with individuals on psychological, intellectual, and spiritual levels, all while emphasizing the reliance on the Holy Spirit for successful apologetics and evangelism.

Preston's poetic language transforms the book into a captivating read, akin to a beautifully written novel, yet it remains practical and accessible. I highly recommend this book to intellectuals who often depend on their intelligence but may overlook the importance of empathy. It provides valuable insights into the necessity of practicing emotional intelligence and relying on the Holy Spirit.

Additionally, this book is ideal for empathetic individuals who excel in connecting emotionally with others but may need to develop their apologetic skills further. Preston’s balanced approach ensures that both groups can benefit immensely, learning to blend intellectual prowess with emotional intelligence in their evangelistic efforts.

Humble and Compelling

Preston Perry is an excellent writer. His book reads as though he’s sitting down talking to you. It’s a “page turner” that I finished in a couple of hours. I’d love to sit down with him and chat and hear more about his life. He shares humbly and honestly his story of faith which is so compelling. I love his heart for people and for sharing Jesus with everyone he meets. I highly recommend this book!

I love the way the book is formatted. Just received it Tuesday and I’m already on chapter 5. He shares scripture without giving too much every time which ushers you to look up scriptures that are referenced. Loved the story about John it’s a great example of how to win hearts not just arguements!

Love this book

I really enjoyed this book! Preston shares the wisdom he has received from his life experience and the Lord in the area of evangelism. I like how raw, humble and honest he is about his journey and how encouraging he is to those who may not feel like they have the gift of evangelism by explaining how God can still use them in this area. He stays true to the title of explaining how to win hearts and not arguments which many people are guilty of, including myself. I found this book so helpful and am thankful that he chose to share his experience in this area.

Powerful book

I just finished Preston Perry’s awesome and anointed book. I loved the authenticity of his speech and how practical and wise he is. I’ve been a fan of him and Jackie for some time, but I’m grateful that Preston shared his knowledge and Godly sound wisdom through this book.

Captivating. Informative. Encouraging.

This is an incredible piece for equipping Christians to share their faith in any context they may find themselves. I love how Preston is not writing an instruction manual but is utilizing his story and experiences as an example for how Jesus wants our hearts to reflect His heart for saving people not just being right. In a world where winning an argument is puffing up our pride and hurting our relationships, Christians, myself included, NEED to know how to share the truth whilst building a bridge of relationship. No one cares what Christians know if they don’t see the heart of the Father who desires to know them. I’m challenged in a positive way to not only know Jesus more and why I believe what I believe but to also step into spaces where I would have avoided because I felt I couldn’t defend my faith well enough. Please read and read with a heart willing to submit pride and self-centeredness to Jesus and instead take up His humility, His grace, and His genuine love.
