THE SKY IS FALLING – ALAN J. ROXBURGH

Endorsements

This is more than a book, it is a manifesto, a proposal for a
new way of imagining a common life together as the pilgrim people of
God seeking to fulfill God’s purposes for the world in our time. If we
need new kinds of churches, we cannot develop them with old kinds of
leaders. We ourselves need to become those new kinds of leaders, even
as we all look to the next generations to help them be formed in new
apprenticeships in the kinds of skills this book describes.

THE CONTINUING CONVERSION OF THE CHURCH – DARRELL L. GUDER

Series: The Gospel and Our Culture Series

Darrell L. Guder

238 pages; 2000

Western society is now a very different, very difficult mission
field. In such a situation, the mission of evangelism cannot succeed
with an attitude of ‘business as usual.’ This volume builds a theology
of evangelism that has its focus on the church itself. Darrell Guder
shows that the church’s missionary calling requires that the theology
and practice of evangelism be fundamentally rethought and redirected,
focused on the continuing evangelization of the church so that it can
carry out its witness faithfully in today’s world.

RURAL EVANGELISM – KEVIN E. RUFFCORN

Responding to the need for a new vision of evangelism for small towns
and rural areas, Kevin Ruffcorn presents lively suggestions and new
understandings gleaned from his workshops on rural evangelism and his
own experience. He emphasizes that the vision of evangelism held by
those in suburbia and other well-populated neighborhoods usually does
not fit rural settings. The author looks at the possibilities and the
problems typical of less densely populated areas, reviewing some
concerns many of them experience: Small memberships, frequent turnover
of pastors, decreasing population of surrounding communities and the
challenge of facilitating needed changes.
