Product Description
This Silver Medallion Book award-winning national interview survey of unchurched people sheds insight on who the unchurched next door are, what objections they raise, and how to connect with them, taking into account their various faith stages based on the Rainer scale with rankings from U5 to U1.
From the Back Cover
If You Invite Them, They Will Come.
Its true. In a national survey done by author Thom Rainer and his staff, eight out of ten unchurched men and women said they would come to churchif only someone would invite them. When and how is the next big question. Rainer helps you figure out where your neighbors, friends, and coworkers are in their spiritual quest, and how you can know who among the unchurched people in your life are receptive to Christ.
In this fascinating book, Rainer identifies five faith stageslevels of responsiveness, prefixed with a U for Unchurchedthat represent your running buddy, your sister-in-law, or your hairdresser:
U1 Highly receptive to hearing and believing the Good News
U2 Receptive to the gospel and church
U3 Neutral, with no clear signs of being interested yet perhaps being open to discussion
U4 Resistant to the gospel, but with no antagonistic attitude
U5 Highly antagonistic and even hostile to the gospel
A discovery we made is that reaching lost and unchurched people is not always best accomplished with some cookie-cutter strategy, Rainer writes. The unchurched are different in how they respond to the gospel. How different? Youll be amazed at the variables that exist when it comes to how open people are to the Christian message. Once you've recognized which stage your unchurched friends and family are, you can much more effectively connect them with Christ. Open this book, and open your mind and heart to the powerful new possibilities of reaching The Unchurched Next Door.
