Description
'For far too long the word evangelism has been a dirty word in the life of the Church. We have talked mission, we have talked service and we have talked political action - but many church leaders have avoided the evangelistic task Jesus commissioned us all to undertake.' Hard-hitting - though never ungracious - Rob Frost chides the UK Church for neglecting the fundamental task of sharing the good news about Jesus. And he spells out culturally relevant ways and means that are both innovative and practical to reach the people of the twenty-first century with the ancient truths of the gospel. This revised and updated edition is presented as a tribute to the late Rob Frost - a man of vision, compassion and unflagging zeal for sharing Jesus.
