Research has shown that many churches throughout the UK are growing, often through running effective evangelism and discipleship courses. Of course, there is no 'one size fits all' solution and every church needs to discern which model will work best within its own community and tradition.
Mike Booker and Mark Ireland have drawn on research and practical ministry and mission experience to produce this unique up-to-date guide to today's evangelistic strategies.
Topics include:
- Alpha
- Emmaus
- Christianity Explored
- Cell church
- Parish missions
- Community development
- Church planting
- Natural church development
- The search for spirituality
- Children's evangelism
Evangelism: Which Way Now? will help church leaders lay and ordained, locally and nationally, to choose selectively from the resources available to develop a coherent and effective strategy for evangelsim within the whole mission of the Church.
The 2nd Edition is fully updated and includes new sections on Mission-shaped Church and Fresh Expressions.
Evangelism: which way now? is a title in the Explorations series that aims to provide a much-needed forum for church leaders, teachers, writers and theologians to stimulate debate, challenge the thinking and practice of the Church at large, and to raise awareness of issues crucial to its future.
