Contemporary evangelism simply doesn't work very well. Churches no longer grow by evangelism, but by attracting other Church's members to leave and come to their Church, hence the popularity of the Church Growth Movement in America with its emphasis on style over substance.Hymers and Cagan haven't discovered anything new, but they have rediscovered an approach to evangelism that treats people as individuals who are worth a preacher's face time, and that treats people as something more than cattle to be herded using manipulative techniques.This is not a book for anyone who is fond of the brand of Christianity that's televised these days.

Heart Pounding Reading

If you are a pastor, teacher, or leader in a church, this book is a must read. I myself teach a teen group in my church. I can't wait to apply some the information I found in this book to the lessons I prepare. I believe we need to get back to the bold and brave approach in preaching and teaching to this dying nation. As Christians we are called to do this.
A Must Read!

I found this book interesting in the extreme. If you have ever in your life had an interest in "religion", "salvation", "getting saved", "born again", "saved" or "conversion", then this book is a must read. If you are at all concerned about your present condition or your eternal existence, then you need to read this book completely and carefully. What if real biblical conversion isn't what you are thoroughly convinced it is? This could be the most important book you ever read!
