With Lovingkindness Have I Drawn Thee: Foundations To Transform Evangelism Into Discipleship

By Lee Ann B. Marino

The call to share with others about the work of Jesus Christ, His life, and salvation promise, are central to the Christian message. The word "Gospel" means "good news," and we are to share this message of "good news" with the world. God loves you! God is with you! God wants you to join with Him for eternity! With a message like this, it would seem like everyone would want to receive it...right? One would think that with such an awesome message to carry, the Christian community would desire to represent it well and with joy. So why are evangelistic efforts so frequently thwarted? The general consensus of the non-Christian world is that Christians are judgmental, hypocritical, unchristlike, narrow-minded, and uneducated...and can we honestly say they are wrong? What can Christianity learn from the unsaved about their witness?For far too many years, the Christian community has allowed politics, fads, and errant base theory to negatively affect the way in which they witness to the world. In With Lovingkindness Have I Drawn Thee: Foundations To Transform Evangelism Into Discipleship, Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino examines several hot-button points in the evangelistic arena and how we, as Christians, need to change the way we view others and ourselves so we can transform the world. Based in observations through years of ministry, training other leaders in effective evangelism methods, and extensive discussion with the non-believing community about things they dislike about Christians, Dr. Marino provides a foundation for us to set others on the path not just to salvation, but discipleship, for life.
