Dr. Carlton P. Byrd author of this new book is in a unique
position to explore the topic of contemporary evangelism. The attendance of his
Atlanta-Berean Seventh-day Adventist church quadrupled in a few short months
after his arrival. His ground-breaking approach to worship and evangelism
together has been a catalyst for growth and change.
Dr Byrd emphasizes that while God’s message does not change
– people change so the way to reach them will sometimes need to be adapted to
the current culture.
Here are some quotes from this book:
Ineffective evangelistic practices
need to be abandoned, and consequently, modern evangelistic approaches should
be employed to maximize church growth.
As we seek to reach our highly
secularized, socially diverse, and economically dissimilar culture, our methods
of evangelism must change to reach the contemporary mind.
The heart of evangelism is based in
the heart of a seeking God
The church has been sent by God to
teach that healing comes through humanity’s acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord
and Savior.
