Transforming Evangelism: The Wesleyan Way of Sharing Faith

by Henry H. Knight III

Book Overview

Because of the more aggressive and confrontational tactics we hear about, evangelism has developed a bad connotation. Doors are shut hurriedly, phone calls end abruptly, and e-mails left unanswered.

Customer Reviews

A practical overview of small group evangelism.

This is a book for the hands on christians only, that is one whom is willing to go and save the lost. This is a practical discipleship message but with unabashed Weslyan Doctranise thrown in for good measure. This is an easy manual alikened to "evangelism for dummies" that any one can read and act apon within their own denomination immediatly. With just over 100 pages this makes it easier for the people out there with a deminished attension span to accomplish.

21st Century Evangelism

Knight & Powe remind us of the importance of evangelism for the one who witnesses, as well as for the one who receives. Their approach does not depend on formulas or canned speeches. The authors demonstrate and invite others to demonstrate the transforming power of God's love in their lives. Knight & Powe ground their book in the Bible and in the tradition of John Wesley, blending a sense of tradition with an openness to the movement of God's Spirit. George Morris is right when he described Transforming Evangelism: "This remarkable book is a 'must read' for all who comprise the World Methodist Family."
