AB In the ongoing struggle between Christianity and secularism, who's winning? Is the world becoming more like the church, to is it the other way around? And what of Adventism? Can a church founded in the 1860s effectively reach out to and meet the needs of today's secular person?In the explosive new book, Pastor Jon Paulien identifies the task of reaching secular people with the everlasting gospel as the most urgent challenge facing Adventist today. I these pages, you will discover:Who secular people are, and how they think.How to meet their felt needs.How to live among and work for them without losing your own Christian experience.How to avoid answering questions nobody is asking.What can be done to make our worship services "user friendly" to secular visitor.If ever there was a book that needed to be read by every caring Adventist- From conference administrator to the newly baptized member- this is it. And, if taken to heart, it could prove to be the catalyst that launches the greatest success Adventist have ever experienced in reaching the unreached.
