Sharing Jesus

How do I share my faith with someone I don't know and I don't want to be offensive? I remember going to the store and a man was running down the isle, thumping the bible at another person telling them they were going to hell. That bothered me for many years. Are Christians bible thumpers? I believe that God wants more from me.

Sharing my faith is important. It is not because I want to "convert" someone, as much as it is to share the "good news". Jesus does make a difference to me. He gives me direction and hope. I don't know how to reach others, but I do know how to pray and ask for guidance. I am asking to be guided to share Jesus because sharing Jesus gives me hope and abudance.
