Power Evangelism (Google eBook)

John Wimber

Gospel Light Publications, May 1, 2009 - Religion - 272 pages

The message of Power Evangelism has been embraced around the world, and the book that started it all has become a classic, with more than one million sold. In
2006, Christianity Today named it one of the 50 most significant Christian books to be published in the last 50 years. This revised and updated edition describes the releasing of God’s power through signs and wonders to refresh, renew, heal and equip His people. Drawing from the teaching of the New Testament and with illustrations from his own experience, Vineyard leader John Wimber persuades the reader to “yield control of our lives to the Holy Spirit.” Though Wimber died in 1997, his teaching continues to spread throughout the Vineyard movement, through the broader renewal movement and to Christians across the globe, even those who do not consider themselves Charismatic. Co-author Kevin Springer—also a Vineyard pastor—has found that in the years since its first publication, Power Evangelism has only grown, and the results continue to be explosive. This edition includes a chapter-by-chapter study guide and reflects changes Springer and other power evangelism practitioners have made in presentation—not in content—for readers in the new millennium.

Review: Power Evangelism

User Review  - Hye Sung - Goodreads

Revolutionary in the 80s and changed much of how Evangelicals function and think, but for today... it is not incredibly life-changing. I wish there were more practical stuff to how to go about power evangelism.
