Think your childhood friend, your uncle, and your fellow soccer mom all have the same degree of receptivity to the gospel? Think again. In The unchurched Next Door, Thom Rainer tosses out our stereotypes of unbelievers and comes to some surprising conclusions about what those outside the church think and feel. Drawing from hundreds of interviews with unchurched people, Rainer and his team found that not everyone responds the same way to evangelism. Some are eager to hear the gospel; others are more wary yet still open; another group is resistant. Explore their world and discover their real thoughts about Christians, Christ, and church. You'll come away with intriguing and helpful insights and new ways of guiding those you care about to the love and light of Jesus. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In a national survey conducted by author Thom Rainer and his staff, eight out of ten unchurched men and women said they would come to church--if only someone would invite them. When and how is the next big question. Rainer helps you figure out where your neighbors, friends, and coworkers are in their spiritual quest, and how you can know who among the unchurched people in your life are receptive to Christ.In this fascinating book, Rainer identifies five "faith stages" that represent your running buddy, your sister-in-law, or your hairdresser. "A discovery we made is that reaching lost and unchurched people is not always best accomplished with some cookie-cutter strategy," Rainer writes. "The unchurched are different in how they respond to the gospel." How different? You will be amazed at the variables that exist when it comes to how open people are to the Christian message. Open this book, and open your mind and heart to the powerful new possibilities of reaching The Unchurched Next Door. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Based upon an engaging survey, the author discovers that many more people are interested in the Gospel than one would expect. The difficulty seems to be more in the lack of presentation of the Gospel by friends and associates than intentionally staying away from the church.
The author is quite Evangelical and believes in the sinner's prayer and "faith only." Nevertheless, the research is sound and the conclusions are consistent with evidence on the ground.
Very much worth the read. ( )
