Evangelism Through the Local Church

Evangelism Through the Local Church: A Comprehensive Guide to All Aspects of Evangelism, Michael Green, Oliver-Nelson Books, Nashville TN, (1990) 1992. ISBN: 0-8407-9159-3. From the Preface: Whenever Christianity has been at its most healthy, evangelism has stemmed from the local church and has had a noticeable impact on the surrounding area. I do not believe that the Christianization of the West can take place without the renewal local churches in this whole area of evangelism. We need a thoughtful, sustained, relevant presentation of the Christian faith, in word and in action, embodied in a warm, prayerful, lively, local church that has a real concern for its community at all levels. This book has been written in the conviction that such evangelism in and from the local church is not only much needed, but eminently possible. I believe it to be the most natural, long-lasting, and effective evangelism that is open to us.
