In Evangelism, J. Mack Stiles distills evangelism down to its biblical essence and encourages us to see evangelism as a natural outflow of a gospel-centered life. He reminds us that evangelism is something we do together as a church. One person can invite a visitor for coffee, another can guide them through a 1-to-1 Bible study, while others in the church prepare gospel-centered songs and preaching. It's a collective effort where every member plays a part in making Christ known.
Addressing contemporary misunderstandings of evangelism that often reduce it to mere techniques or flashy events, Stiles reminds Christians to see evangelism as ultimately God-initiated, Christ-centered and church-empowered—a perspective that frees us from the pressure of successful conversions and the fear of rejection.
