ISBN The Mystic Way of Evangelism, 2nd Edition (A Contemplative Vision for Christian Outreach) book English Paperback 224 pages

Elaine Heath brings a fresh perspective to the theory and practice of evangelism by approaching it through contemplative spirituality, offering a corrective to the contemporary American trend of programmatic and consumeristic forms of evangelism. By looking to mystics, saints, and martyrs of church history, she suggests we can discover ways of thinking about God that result in a life of outreach. This thoroughly revised second edition includes a new study guide.ContentsIntroductionPart One: Purgation1. Into the NightPart Two: Illumination2. Love Is God's Meaning3.
