Mike Booker and Mark Ireland have drawn on research, practical ministry and mission experience to produce this unique, up-to-date guide to today's evangelistic strategies. With topics including: Alpha, Emmaus, cell church and children's evangelism, "Evangelism: Which Way Now?" is essential reading for church leaders who want: an up-to-date overview of resources for and approaches to evangelism, to evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of these resources in different contexts; to develop a coherent and effective strategy for evangelism within the whole mission of the Church. The 2nd Edition is fully updated and includes new sections on mission-shaped Church and Fresh Expressions. A title in the "Explorations" series which aims to provide a much-needed forum for church leaders, teachers, writers and theologians to stimulate debate, challenge the thinking and practice of the Church at large, and to raise awareness of issues crucial to its future.
