'For centuries the church has had times when it has focused on reaching out to people with the gospel. Holding a "mission" in this way reflects the loving movement of God towards the people he has made and wishes to rescue.' This is what we are told on the cover of the book, but that was then, and the situation in Britain is very different today. With the demise of evangelistic missions, Michael Green writes about rediscovering their power. He makes a powerful, logical case as he pleads for churches to think and plan towards holding a 'mission'.
The book is rather like a manual as it describes practically how to get started, how to use a team, what sort of programme to put on, how to preach evangelistically and follow up those who are converted.
