Biblical, Spiritual, Intentional, Missional: Alvin Reid’s New Evangelism Handbook

Nov 7th, 2009 by Bruce Ashford Print This Post

reid_ev-handbook1Alvin Reid has gone and committed another act of literature, one which (as Roy Fish says in the Afterword) is well worth reading and which contains concepts worth putting into action. Evangelism Handbook: Biblical, Spiritual, Intentional, Missional is a comprehensive treatment of the various facets of getting the gospel to our neighbors (and to the nations).

In the first part, he treats foundational matters, giving a biblical theology of evangelism and an expose of lessons we can learn from the early church. In the second part, he writes about the spiritual nature of the task, covering such topics as prayer, testimony, character, and spiritual disciplines. In the third part, he writes about intentionality and the treacherous but necessary call to be effective and contextual. In the fourth part, he argues that the church must move from a primarily “attractional” model to a primarily missional model.

By the time you have gotten to this part of my little book notice, surely you are on the edge of your seats. The suspense is nearly unbearable. “Where,” you ask breathlessly, “might I read more about the book?” Well, the good news is that LifeWay has provided a free 36 page download which you can access by clicking here.

Or you could just determine to buy the book immediately. That’s what I did.
