  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey guys,

I was wondering what your favorite books on Evangelism have been?

I've read a few that I found really interesting.

Here's my list:
Chasing The Dragon (Jackie Pullinger)
Capturing a Town for Christ (Elmer Towns)
Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis)
Changing the World Through Discipleship (Robert Herber)
A Practical Guide to Evangelism – Supernaturally (Chris Overstreet)
The Cross and the Switchblade (David Wilkerson)
The Book that Transforms Nations (Loren Cunningham)
The Radical Reformission (Mark Driscoll)
Evangelism Explosion (Dr. D. James Kennedy)

I realize some of these books aren't strictly evangelistic in nature, but offer good insights.

I wrote up a more extensive blog summarizing my thoughts on these books here:
Top 9 Christian Books on Evangelism and Missions

Let me know if you think I should add any more to the list!

Thanks,
TBC Christian

Yes, you should add the book of Acts, and the four Gospels!

Most Christians I meet don't know how John the baptist evangelized, nor how the Lord evangelized, nor how the Apostles evangelized, but they know how televangelists evangelize; and many know C.S. Lewis, and David Wilkerson, but few know anything about the actual Gospel, and much less about the way God said men ought to evangelize.

PS: I hardly have the time to study the bible about what it says about itself, I can't imagine replacing the time that I have for reading the bible with the reading of other books that claim to be telling me what the bible already says...

Thanks for the feedback!

The bible is obviously supreme in its' teachings, however there is room to grow from others and what's worked for them. It's not a bad thing to read christian literature outside of scripture.

It's also a great thing to read about someone's testimony and how God has worked in and through their life. Very encouraging indeed!

Chasing the Dragon with Jackie Pullinger is one such example.
