Interesting interview on Celtic evangelism (and implications for us)...George Hunter has some good wisdom on these matters. The book on the right has been out for some years.

'Not called!' did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world. (William Booth)

I just read this book. It's very good, although its core ideas are nothing unfamiliar to me. What makes Hunter's book unique is that it could easily be made into a small group study for laymen at a local church.
