ABOUT THE BOOK:
"There are many voices expounding on the need and methodology of evangelism. Some share from years of experience, some shout from passionate pulpits, while some speak from active duty in the good fight of faith. C.L. Thomas should be prominent among these. His is a voice that needs to be heard.
Minister Thomas has the gift of evangelism. I witnessed its working as he labored with me in the Brooklyn area. The only moment he enjoyed above sitting down with a seeker or skeptic was to bring them to the water. The Kings Church in Brooklyn experienced great growth because of that gift.
Thomas is an effective strategist. Evangelism must mean more than a dynamic preacher at a Gospel Meeting or the sporadic visitor being converted. It requires the consistent efforts of the church body to accomplish ministry. This requires the right understanding of Evangelism and suggestions of productive methods. The Four Pillars of Evangelism is a strong message that conveys just that.
I believe that The Four Pillars of Evangelism will light the fire of evangelism in some hearts that have grown cold, but it will also be a guiding light for those who are passionate for the lost."
David Wilson, Senior Minister of the Kings church of Christ
