Another Book to Keep You Motivated for Outreach

I found the last half of this book much better than the first half. The fact is, this book is worth reading because it will keep you excited about outreach. The constant temptation for pastors is to get discouraged and stop doing outreach. Certainly we need to give people the Gospel. This goes far beyond just giving them a cold drink or hosting a party for them. But, in this day and age, we need things that will help us break through to people where they're at. We need things that will help us to become the biblical servants we are called to be. We've seen amazing changes in the people of our church since implementing various forms of servant evangelism. This book contains some great ideas, but more than that, it's encouraging, down-to-earth, and practical.Paul Heier, pastor/author of Leading Out of Love

Wow!!!!!

This is one of those books that make me literally say, "WOW!!" I had no idea evangelism was so simple!! For anyone who hates or dislikes open street evangelism, I can reassure you that this book will change your attitude on outreaching. The focus of the book is centered around kindness and how it leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4). It reveals some incredible testimonies as well as much Biblical truth on spiritual warfare. Anyone interested in spiritual warfare should read this book! (and perhaps Sjogren's other books). Having been a former agnostic (Praise God I'm no longer one!), I have a very skeptical mindset. Initially, I was thinking to myself, how is this any different from 'organized niceness' like other nonprofit organizations? Fortunately we can see the difference between giving money randomly to a bum, and providing the same bum a meal as well as spending time with the bum. The key element here is definitely love. And the purpose of Servant Evangelism (or Warfare) is to show God's love in a practical way. For 5 bucks, THIS IS PROBABLY the best 5 bucks you'll ever spend! (Then again I get some impression that his latest book is better...and that's only 7 bucks =P) Anyway, to get a better understanding of this radical concept of Servant Evangelism, this book will illuminate the simplicity of evangelizing and it'll make it fun to do as well =) ...

Just When Kindness Seems Extinct...There's Steve Sjogren

Like The Conspiracy of Kindness, Servant Warfare challenges Christians to live a life that witnesses in love to world where kindness often goes unseen. While many books on evangelism seem intimidating and out of reach, Servant Warfare shows every Christian how they can reach the world they come in contact with everyday. How refreshing to read a book on evangelism that makes it all seem doeable. Steve Sjogren's interesting writing style and powerful ministry should inspire Christians everywhere to just live it!
