The Theological Basis for Evangelism,
By
This review is from: God Centered Evangelism (Paperback)
This is a solid review of evangelism, especially in relation to God and His sovereignty. Do not expect quick gimmicks on how to "win souls" here. This book provides a solid theological framework for evangelism. So often modern day evangelistic efforts lack depth, and the ideas being presented in this book are a great antidote to that! Not all parts of this book interested me, but I found it to generally cut right to the heart with a simple writing style that powerfully exhorts the reader with both emotion and reason! Kuiper definately has a great writing style, not spectacular but very Biblical and digestable.

Christianity 101,
By Jerry Dodson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: God Centered Evangelism (Paperback)
Evangelism is the heart and soul of Christianity. Telling others the truth about our wretched condition before God, and His gracious provision in Christ is not optional. The problem with much of today's evangelism is that it is aimed at appealing to the hearer--the so-called "seeker sensitive" movement being a prime example. But if you have any experience with such methods, you know that they are ineffective at best, and harmful at worst. Kuiper gives evangelism the emphasis it deserves: a God centered presentation of the gospel. Yes, if you haven't figured it out yet, Kuiper is a Calvinist, and this book is simply a Calvinistic understanding of depravity, grace, and sovereignty. And yet, unlike many Calvinistic documents, this one gives asimple but effective instruction in the presentaion of the good news found in Jesus Christ. Tired of man-centered preaching that does no one any good? Let Kuiper show you the glory of God as you preach the gospel of God!

Practical in the Best Possible Way,
By Joel S. Frady - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: God Centered Evangelism (Paperback)
R.B. Kuiper's God-Centred Evangelism, written in the mid-20th century, is as relevant now as it was when first printed by Banner of Truth in 1966. The book is Bible-saturated, clearly written and very helful. Each chapter begins with the word "God", focusing the reader's attention on the intent of the book. Much of the book is just an excellent review of the biblical truths regarding the love of God, the sovereignty of God, and God's work in salvation. In addressing these subjects, Kuiper deals thoroughly with their application to evangelism and what acceptance of these truths forces us to reject (universalism, moralism, fatalism, etc.). This book is intensely practical because it lays the biblical foundation necessary for faithful evangelism.My favorite illustration from the book is on page 155 and is a good example of Kuiper's writing style and content throughout the book . . . "A criminal finds himself in prison, locked in his cell. A visiting friend calls out to him: 'I have good news for you.' With eager expectation the prisoner demands: 'What is it? Out with it! The answer comes: 'Be good.' Well that might drive the prisoner mad. Yet, precisely that is the only message which some who call themselves evangelists have for the sinner. It is not good news. It is not news at all. Good news for the sinner is that provision has been made for his release from sin and hell." 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful
