Practical assignments, coupled with powerful stories, make it easy for any reader to begin experiencing the fresh insights that this much-needed book provides."

"Conversations involving evangelism are increasingly difficult—for seeker and would-be evangelist alike. Lots of us have tried to make a contribution to this challenge. Doug Pollock has actually done so. God Spaces is wide-ranging but easily grasped; honest to the challenge, but loaded with doable actions and thus hope."
- Todd Hunter, Church Planter, Former Executive Director of Alpha USA, Former President of Vineyard USA
"Doug did it! As I've spoken to thousands of people regarding externally focused living, the missing piece I've identified is the type of conversations that help turn good deeds and good will into good news for this generation. Through genuine concern coupled with curiosity and questions Doug, through Scripture, story and experiences (both positive and negative) presents attractive and compelling ways to engage others in conversations that change lives for eternity. God Space is the definitive book on outreach for this generation."
- Eric Swanson, Leadership Network, Co-author of “The Externally Focused Life
"When we share with another our relationship with Jesus, we share the most precious gift we could ever receive. Why are we often reluctant, even fearful to share this wonderful gift? Part of the answer must lie in the fact that most of us have never taken the time to intentionally prepare to be effective witnesses for Jesus, the lover of our souls. Doug Pollock has drawn from his years of compassion for the lost to help any follower of Jesus become a more effective laborer in the harvest. This book guides us to the awareness that every encounter is a divine opportunity to sow a seed of the gospel, and through practical examples and useful tools, equips us to share the hope that lies within us."
- David Long, President of OMS
"What would happen if Christians left their “clubs” and went out into the world to create high-grace places where conversation flowed freely and people could voice their questions about life? In God Space, author Doug Pollock offers readers his experience and real-life stories of doing exactly that. As he actively wonders with people, we are drawn into his passion for reaching people far from God. But Pollock does something few writers do—he leaves us believing that we, too, can wonder into someone’s heart and ultimately help them wonder their way to God. Doug Pollock has given the Church an authentic and invaluable tool for reaching and connecting to the hearts of people."
- Lindy Lowry, Senior Editor of Outreach magazine
"Doug Pollock’s “God Space: Where Spiritual Conversations Happen Naturally” is a jam-packed guidebook on the new apologetic: listening, noticing and serving while leading others to the mercy of God. The chapter with “ninety-nine wondering questions” is invaluable for those of us weary of parroting formulaic answers in the oft-typical sales approach of evangelical Christianity. Doug is a practitioner, not a theoretician; these ideas and stories are borne from real-life experiences. That alone makes it well worth the read!"
- Dave Workman, Author of “The Outward Focused Life”, Senior Pastor of Vineyard Community Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
"It’s a place where day-to-day relationships and remarkably refreshing spiritual conversations meet. In “God Space” Doug Pollock provides everything we need to engage with others in seeking, asking, and knocking on God’s door to get the everlasting directions we all need."
–Dave Ping, CEO of Equipping Ministries International and author of Outflow
"If you are looking for a down-to-earth coach who is going to give you the practical help you need to make the most of the encounters that God brings your way, Doug Pollock is one of the best there is. His insights are warm, witty -- and so true! If you apply the teaching of this book you will never need to attend another evangelism training program again. Guaranteed."
