| | When we think about common obstacles to evangelism, apathy doesn't typically come to mind. You might be ready to offer a faithful apologetic to an atheist or someone of another faith, but are you able to fruitfully engage with those who don't care about God in the first place?
In our comfortable and distracted age, the question of God—his existence, his role in the universe, his love for his people—may prompt little more than a shrug from modern nonbelievers. They hold to apatheism: It's not that they dislike God, and it's okay if you like him. But they just don't care. They don't see why it matters for them.
In Apatheism: How We Share When They Don't Care, Kyle Beshears expertly diagnoses the root causes of apatheism and provides the tools you need to engage with the apatheists in your life. |

How We Share When They Don't Care
Kyle Beshears
How can you share the gospel with someone who doesn't care?
As Western culture becomes increasingly indifferent to questions of faith, diverted by secularism, comfort, and distraction, believers encounter many people who don't so much doubt God as they are apathetic toward him. In Apatheism, Kyle Beshears urges us to recapture the joy of our salvation and demonstrates how to faithfully display the love of Christ to apatheist friends and neighbors. |

"Apatheism is the book you need to reach a world that doesn't seem to care. With painstaking scriptural focus and a heart full of compassion for the lost, Beshears lays out an approach that is both biblical and wise. If you care about the people who don't care, you need this book."
—Daniel Darling, senior vice president of communications, National Religious Broadcasters, and pastor of teaching and discipleship, Green Hill Church, Mt. Juliet, TN |

"A wise pastor once told me the biggest problem we face as Christian leaders is not hostility but apathy. And that's the problem that Kyle Beshears helps us address in this important new book. It's not helpful for us to answer questions few bother to ask anymore. Beshears helps us stoke the latent desires of unbelievers to want to want to believe."
—Collin Hansen, editorial director, The Gospel Coalition |

"Apologists in today's culture must have the capacity not only to respond to false claims about Christianity but also to engage with a growing sense of apathy toward faith. In Apatheism, Kyle Beshears provides a clear road map for sharing the gospel with those who claim that they aren't interested in whether or not the claims of Jesus are true."
—Timothy Paul Jones, vice president of doctoral studies and chair of apologetics, ethics, and philosophy, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary |
