This guidebook is a new Spanish translation of a popular work that offers practical helps both individuals and parishes reach inactive Catholics and the unchurched. The book is brimming with simple, logical ideas everyone can use-from one-on-one encounters in the office to specific parish programs, from finding and becoming comfortable with one's own evangelizing "style" to creating public relations and mail campaigns. The U.S. bishops call for more actively spreading the Gospel. Here is a way to do that, to turn individuals and parishes from wishful thinkers into effective evangelizers.
The author has an experienced pastor's eye for what is realistic and what will actually work. His book is a blueprint for action. He lists the key elements of the faith every evangelizer should know, gives examples of workplace evangelization handled with low-key professionalism, and reveals how to use weddings, funerals, and holidays to witness. He shows how to evangelize with ecumenical sensitivity. He also demonstrates how to conduct evangelization team meetings and how leaders can keep their team in focus.
This is a must-have for parishes that serve Hispanic populations. It is a superb resource for pastors, clergy and religious, directors of religious ed, and all individuals who take their baptismal call seriously.
