Now even sunglasses are an evangelism tool

First there were Christian T-Shirts and jewelry.

Now there are Christian sunglasses.

Christian retailers, bookstores and online sites like Online Christian Shopper

(www.onlinechristianshopper.com) have just started offering a line of very unique

sunglasses that offer new ways for believers to share their faith.

Sunglasses are part of the American culture these days. They make a statement for

the wearer. These new Christian glasses not only make a fashion statement but they

witness the faith of the wearer.

The glasses are the work of a Califonia company called Disciple Shades. Retailers

and online stores report that the glasses have been among the hottest selling

products this year.

The distinctive designs feature Christian emblems, such as a simple cross, a Dove of

Peace and the signature Disciple Shades winged D, that reflect the values of Love,

Hope, Faith and Joy. Meaningful biblical verses are displayed on the inside temple

of every model.

The crosses, doves and Christian symbols are subtle, gracing the sides of the

glasses. Some designs are a part of the lens.

The glasses come in a variety of styles suitable for men and women. They include

fashion and sport sunglasses with design style names like Love, Angel, Light, Joy,

Mercy and Spirit.

They are available in a range of colors and styles, such as a sport-classic look

with functional wrap styling, sophisticated rimless and shield designs, trendy

oversized looks and... for the fashion conscious... even models highlighted with a

touch of sparkle at the temples.

Prices are generally under $40 online, though brick and mortar shops may charge

more.

Sunglasses are perfect ways to express individuality. Christians say these new

styles let them share their faith without having to say a word. People notice

sunglasses and everytime someone checks out a paid of these shades, they're getting

a message of faith.

It's the same with Christian apparel, like Christian T-Shirts, hoodies and caps.

Church scholars and theologians say its part of a growing movement sweeping

evangelical Christianity called lifestyle evangelism, where everyday believers are

taking advantage of the situations and places they go everyday to share their faith

in non-confrontational ways.

Besides the clothing and the Christian sunglasses, Christian jewelry is also

becomming popular. In the workplace and other professional settings, it's not always

appropriate to wear a t-Shirt or casual attire. But a Christian ring or necklace

goes well with almost any wardrobe and also makes a faith statement.

But it's the Christian sunglasses that seem to be setting the evangelical style this

year. Watch for a pair at a beach or ski slope near you.
