This bibliography on evangelism is perhaps the most important one on the Missiology Homepage because the church of Christ has lost its evangelistic heart, its missions urgency, and its ability to connect with unbelievers in sensitive, culturally appropriate ways.  These books will help Christians develop a theology of evangelism, think of themselves as God's redemptive messengers, cultivate skills of relating to searchers, and develop congregational organization for evangelistic outreach.  If you have any suggestions or recommendations about additional sources, please e-mail Gailyn Van Rheenen.
