Two Recommended Books for the Great Commission

If you are interested in doing what humans can do to expose people to God's message in these volitile times, these are two books that you might be interested in. (H/t www.barna.org). Of course, ultimately God is the one who has to do the calling - John 6:44- but we can do what we can for the Great Commission's sake!

Grow Your Church - Evangelism without Additives Power Pack!
George Barna and Jim Henderson

Evangelism without Additives
Helping People Relate to God. Life-changing outreach is changing. People’s values, attitudes, beliefs, relationships and worldviews are affecting the kinds of relationships, information and experiences they embrace. How well do you understand the shifting contours of outreach? To get a better grip on these matters, check out Jim Henderson’s book, Evangelism Without Additives (formerly titled a.k.a Lost.) The book contains no programs, no steps, and no clever content to memorize. It does encourage you to be you, to understand and genuinely care for a non-Christian you know, and emphasizes the power of conversation. This week we’re selling the book for just $11.50, plus tax and shipping. (And we’ve restructured our shipping methods and prices to your advantage.)

Grow Your Church from the Outside In
There are nearly 100 million unchurched people in the U.S. Do you know how to connect with them in ways that will lead to faith-based life transformation?
In this practical and user-friendly volume, author and researcher George Barna explores the world of the unchurched. Based on research his company conducted among several thousand unchurched people, Barna describes who the unchurched are and how we might most easily and appropriately connect with them. Using additional research he conducted among churches that have had great success in attracting and retaining unchurched people, Barna also outlines perspectives and effective strategies for churches that wish to reach those who avoid churches.
More than 80% of the current growth registered by Protestant churches is biological or transfer growth – very little of the growth comes from penetrating the ranks of the unchurched. Once you understand the values, attitudes, beliefs, religious practices, demographics, life goals, and spiritual expectations of the unchurched, you will have a better chance of relating to them in meaningful ways. Let Grow Your Church From the Outside In be your guidebook in that process.
