Real Evangelism

Real Evangelism by Bailey Smith, published by Thomas Nelson Incorporated in 1999, is a revised edition that spans 192 pages. This book explores the challenges faced by church culture in fulfilling its evangelistic mission. Smith identifies what he terms “subtle substitutes” that can hinder effective outreach, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing efforts to connect with those who have not yet found faith.

Readers will find a critical examination of how certain church activities may detract from the core mission of evangelism. The text addresses various aspects of Christian living and ministry, urging a focus on reaching out to the lost rather than solely supporting established believers. Through this exploration, Smith provides insights into the balance between nurturing existing faith and actively engaging in evangelism, making it a relevant resource for those involved in Christian ministry and biblical studies.
