The problem with evangelism today is that we are not producing disciples. It seems that for every one thousand people with whom we share the gospel, we produce only one disciple. The solution is not another gimmicky method to soft pedal a watered down message. The answer to effective evangelism begins with the Scriptures. It seems that nearly everyone who followed Jesus in the New Testament went through a pre-discipleship process. The practice of pre-discipleship was more the norm among first century Christians, a forgotten element in many current evangelistic efforts today. This book introduces pre-discipleship to the reader from a biblical, theological, social, historical, and practical perspective; an issue every Christian leader passionate for evangelism must consider.
