"A challenging presentation of the nature of the gospel, and the communication of it today.
If you are not satisfied with much of today's so-called evangelism, but you can't quite put your finger on what's wrong with it, this book is for you. Much of today's evangelism has nothing to do with the preaching of the gospel, but focuses on unity at any expense. Mr. Chantry uses the gospel story of the rich young ruler and his encounter with Jesus Christ as an example of how to preach the gospel. He stresses the need for us to stick to the Master's way of handling lost individuals, not to popular but misleading methods (he even cites a few of the most common appeals to men's hearts as bad examples). This is life and death stuff! Jesus lets the "fish" get away, but we think by outdoing the Fisherman we can get more converts, says Chantry. Time is we followed the Teacher's methods and stop trying to win the crowds with no gospel at all. Persecution is to be expected by the false church, too."
