Evangelism: For the Care of Souls

Sean McGever

"Evangelism is the heart of pastoral care. In Evangelism: For the Care of Souls, Sean McGever reminds ministers that announcing-and reannouncing-the good news of Jesus is central to pastoral care. The crucified Jesus has been raised from the dead and is Lord of all. The gospel rightly belongs at the start of a Christian's life, but its role does not end there. It is the balm and cure of our hearts for all of life. And evangelists must not confuse the messenger with the message. We must all be evangelized and re-evangelized.

Praise for this book

I have read many books on evangelism that have left me feeling guilty and inadequate for the task. This book however left me feeling inspired and assured.

--Marty Gray, pastor, Ravenhill Presbyterian Church, Belfast, Northern Ireland


With a shepherd's heart and an impressive knack for storytelling, McGever summons scores of names, places, and anecdotes that are sure to convict--and encourage--even the most inexperienced Christian.
