Conversion isn’t merely a good feeling. It’s not just a change of mind. It’s not turning over a new leaf. Those things may happen, but they can happen for reasons other than conversion. True conversion is unique. It’s born out of repugnance and faith, and its fruit is a changed life.
J. Mack Stiles, Evangelism
The book referenced above by J. Mack Stiles is brand new and is well worth your while. The purpose of the book is not merely personal evangelism, but to aid in producing a culture of evangelism within a local church. Stiles is a good writer and it shows in this book. The book is approachable and quick to read. The only real drawback I see is that it is relatively expensive for such a brief book. Nevertheless, if the value is based upon its quality rather than it’s quantity, it is worth every penny.
