A resource on how to evangelize an area using the "big event" methodology.

The author explains what the "big event" is and provides suggestions as to how often it should be done. He discusses the preparations and the involvement of church leadership and members. He discusses how it is to be promoted with various media along with personal invitations by members. He also discusses "servant evangelism," finding ways to provide benefit to people within the community. While not as much of the focus, the author also discusses how a church can get prepared to handle an influx of new believers and the need for coherent plans for making disciples out of converts.

On the whole, many excellent ideas and strategies; the website for the book (ignitebook.com) has many more (free) resources toward these ends. I disagree with some of the aspects of the Evangelical theology of the author, particularly the denial of the need for baptism for salvation/remission of sin, and I am not quite sure on his take on the Parable of the Sower. Nevertheless, the book is worth consideration for those who seek to promote the Gospel. ( )
