Title: They Knew How To Do It In The Old Days After All
Review: Contemporary evangelism simply doesn't work very well. Churches no longer grow by evangelism, but by attracting other Church's members to leave and come to their Church, hence the popularity of the Church Growth Movement in America with its emphasis on style over substance.Hymers and Cagan haven't discovered anything new, but they have rediscovered an approach to evangelism that treats people as individuals who are worth a preacher's face time, and that treats people as something more than cattle to be herded using manipulative techniques.This is not a book for anyone who is fond of the brand of Christianity that's televised these days. This is a book for those who wonder "What happened to Christianity?"
