Creative Ideas for Frontline Evangelism with Young People by Simon Rundell

Buy it from Hive.co.uk and support local booksellers 

Unlike his two earlier contributions to the “Creative Ideas for...” series this one is almost exclusively a source book rather than a discussion on principles and practice. It is made up of reflections on, mostly, Gospel events with accompanying activities to help explore and embed the message.

This is a useful collection, for a wide range of contexts – I could see plenty of these fitting well into the monthly “informal” service in my own parish, which if I am honest is some way from “frontline evangelism” and is not by any means primarily made up of “young people”.

If you were hoping for some radical new approach this isn't it – Simon Rundell's approach is fundamentally age old – “tell the story, let God do the rest” - but then again maybe there is good reason that Christians have been following this pattern so long...
