I don’t agree with all McLaren’s tenets, but I do like his relational approach to evangelism and his perception of faith as a journey--a process-and seldom a “punctiliar” conversion. This is a good book to get people thhinking and talking about the various aspects and dimensions of evangelism. I like his nonjudgmental approach to evangelism and, in his words, we are all “stories in progress surrounded by stories in progress.” ( )

This is a good book on how the nature of Christian evangelism has changed/is changing. Evangelism will never be done the way it has been done. McLaren shares some e-mails that a young lady wrote to him during his "evangelization" of her. I wish he would have been able to share the ones he wrote.

The days of door-to-door or street corner evangelism are over. The days of evangelism rallies are over. Those things were great because they worked, in their day. Now, it is about building relationships. ( )

Language for a new paradigm. Excellent. ( )

McLaren lets you read his email conversations with an unchurched person who is asking questions about spirituality. It's good. It's what "evangelism" is going to be like more and more. ( )
