The Evangelist's notebook

I have been thinking and reading about evangelism.

The Evangelist's Notebook by John Peters is a good read and is helpful. John is the Vicar of St Mary's, who run the excellent Life Course (watch the film) and he is a truly effective evangelist and global church planter. It is well worth listening to him preach- particularly on the Spirit.

He structures his church using the thought that people are generally in one of three categories. (Driscoll does a similar thing )

John, using Ephesians 4, speaks of :

1. Adventurers

2. Carers

3. Truth-tellers

He calls this the Big Idea and explains it more in the book.

This is a quick and worthwhile read, especially if you are an evangelist!
