Pastoral and Personal Evangelism

Pastoral and Personal Evangelism is a book written by Charles L. Goodell that provides a comprehensive guide to evangelism in the Christian faith. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on pastoral evangelism, while the second part deals with personal evangelism. In the first part, Goodell discusses the role of the pastor in evangelism, highlighting the importance of preaching and teaching the Gospel, as well as the need for pastoral care and counseling. He also delves into the various methods and strategies that pastors can use to reach out to their congregations and the wider community, including evangelistic events, outreach programs, and personal evangelism.The second part of the book is dedicated to personal evangelism, which Goodell describes as the responsibility of every Christian. He provides practical advice on how to share the Gospel with others, including tips on how to start conversations, how to answer common objections, and how to lead someone to a decision for Christ. Throughout the book, Goodell emphasizes the importance of prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit in evangelism. He also draws on his own experiences as a pastor and evangelist to illustrate his points and provide real-world examples. Overall, Pastoral and Personal Evangelism is a valuable resource for pastors, lay leaders, and anyone seeking to share their faith with others. It offers practical guidance and encouragement for those who are passionate about evangelism and are looking for ways to make a difference in their communities.1907.
