This work approaches evangelism by examining the everyday pursuits of ordinary people, and demonstrates how evangelism often arises as a response to an overflow of God’s love. We begin with four practices of holiness by which we humble ourselves before God. Through prayer, Sabbath observance, holy play, and discernment of God’s call on our lives, we recognize God as the bedrock of our lives. With boldness, church members will come alive as they share Jesus with the world and serve as agents of God’s reconciling love, inviting people to become part of God’s family.
Paul R. Dekar is Professor of Evangelism and Missions at Memphis Theological Seminary. A graduate of the University of California (Berkeley), Colgate Rochester Divinity School, and the University of Chicago, he has also taught at Central Michigan University, McMaster University, Acadia University, and Whitley College of the University of Melbourne.
