For the thoughtful reader who has always wanted to become acquainted with the works of the great philosophers, but has never had the time, here is a solid, concise, and stimulating one volume introduction to the whole field of philosophy.

I have never read a book that so clearly articulated the vision for God's church that we carry out in our campus ministry, where the reaching is done by both missionaries and students (mostly by the committed students!), and people are reached in community and offered an opportunity to journey with us to get to know Jesus. It's about "building an army, not an audience!"

Along the same vein, I would highly recommend The Master Plan of Evangelism by Robert E. Coleman. Coleman gives further biblical basis for many of Trueblood's more experience-backed convictions.

In response to other reviewers, I noticed only a few things that were "dated," mostly the examples, for which present-day ones could just as easily be substituted. But my favorite authors died between 1910 and 1930, so that could affect what I notice :)

May many more lives be changed through living the vision of this book.
