“Andrew shares the kind of evangelism we have practiced and valued for four decades on the mission field — one that flows from personal intimacy with Jesus, from a prayerful life in God’s presence. It is an invitation to a fresh identity in the family of God, the life we value above everything in this world. If you want to be a worker in this harvest, be blessed by his wisdom and testimony.”
“The joy of knowing Jesus and the privilege that we have to share the good news with others at times is breathtaking. “Discovering the Joy” by Andrew will point you to the source of all true Joy and that is Jesus. There are very few equipping evangelists like Andrew that not only desire to see the lost saved but also desire for the church to enter into the joy of knowing Jesus and making Him known to this generation. When we only have one life to live, we live in such a way that makes sense in the light of eternity. I can get behind this book because it reflects the heart of God for us and for those that don’t know Him yet. My encouragement to you is that this book will become a tool for you to learn from, put into practice what you have learnt so that you can teach others as well. May God bless you.”
“Andrew’s book Discovering the Joy is life-changing. By giving multiple testimonies, tangible steps, and by being a vivid example of discovering this joy personally; Andrew not only talks about theory but takes you into very practical ways of getting the most joy possible as you live your life.
There is no greater joy in heaven than a person turning to God and we can experience this joy.
This book is a must-read for every Christian when wanting to live a joyous life. I’m convinced that every Christian can find true happiness by sharing his faith. Imagine that God wants to use you to write his eternal story. Discover the lifestyle of connecting people with God in everyday life.”
In his excellent book, Discovering the Joy, Andrew takes the reader on a journey of sharing one’s faith without fear. Through vivid accounts and hands-on teaching, this compilation of compelling testimonials mixed with spiritual insights and Scriptural examples will speak to your heart as Chalmers expressively reasons with us to use our God-given purpose on earth to bring others to the joy we now have in Jesus. This book is a must-read for every believer who wants to find the true “joy of the Lord” by sharing our joy in knowing Jesus with others!

My experience with the Take the City crew was like coming into a family. Our team was welcomed in with open arms with like-hearted believers who love Jesus and have laid down their lives to serve the broken of the city! It was an honor to come alongside them, be welcomed into their homes, share meals, and experience the transformational work that God is doing in and through them to see His Kingdom come.
