This review is from: Evangelism and Discipleship in African-American Churches (Paperback)
This book is a hidden gem that needs to be uncovered. It is a compilation of essays by various clergy that have captured the essence of what true evangelism entails, what it should be, and why it is needed today. I needed this book for a class but it is one that I would recommend for those who are not in a classroom setting.It is an easy read that will have you hooked and engaged from the very first essay. Get it ASAP.
