- "The recent development of so many evangelism strategies and resources is a sign of health and vitality within the Church, and there is much we want to affirm. We realize, however, that our quest for realism may make us unpopular with some, who may not like to see their favoured resources critiqued or criticized. Nonetheless the purpose of this book is to help local churches make informed choices about which evangelism strategies may be most appropriate in their particular situation. The different resources on offer rarely refer to each other, and part of our role is to help the reader make connections, so that churches can plan their evangelism strategy in a joined-up way". -- Preface, p. xi.
