Synopsis

An entertaining narrative with thought-provoking exercises that help the reader understand worldview-relevant evangelism and discipleship and its importance in a multicultural world. Designed for personal reading or small group studies. Colorfully and beautifully illustrated with 100+ photos and graphically-designed images. An evangelism and discipleship training narrative that is a scaled-down version of the Good Soil Evangelism and Discipleship seminar in a narrative format. The fictional story follows hard-working, dedicated missionaries who are contemplating leaving the field because of a lack of solid fruit. A last-gasp Bible study reveals a theology of evangelism and discipleship that inspires and equips them to continue to pursue their calling. The principles gained from this theology are applicable to anyone wishing to serve God through biblical evangelism and discipleship, in North America or mission fields around the world. An excellent text for church leaders to use in training members of their congregations. Also, an excellent text for Bible institute or college or seminary professors. Free professionally designed resources for individual and group study are also available for download: Self Study Guide, Leader's Guide, PowerPoint Presentation, and Supplemental Teaching Resources. WORLDVIEW-RELEVANT EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP - Learn how to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with people of all worldview faiths. One customer wrote, “Gil, your writing by way of storytelling was greatly effective. You kept me wanting to get back to the story. Whoever did the recording was excellent. The varied voices as the different characters lived out the story helped to keep the storyline riveting. Most importantly the philosophy of “Good Soil” was very clearly communicated. We are looking forward to the training class. I was able to order over half of the materials we need for the training last week. We will get the rest after the first of the year."
