      There is no doubt that one of the most critical issues facing the Kingdom of God is how the church reaches those who have not been effectively evangelized or experienced the nature and inclusive message of God. The work done by Dr. Brown helps to give workers in evangelism an instructive guide that will enable them to properly utilize the divine gift of outreach to the masses. Her scholarly approach and exhaustive research in the dynamics and history of the methodology involved in evangelism bears witness to the truth of the presence of a divine call.

      Now, if ever, it is imperative for the development of the Kingdom of God to have individuals who clearly see and understand the need for expanding the kingdom of born-again believers by preparing individuals, groups, and churches for the fulfillment of the mission of Christ in calling the lost unto salvation.

      Evangelism for the 21st Century Church must not be viewed in the context of traditionalism, which seeks to only reach out to its own, but must in a broader sense take the message of Christ Jesus to invite whosoever will come to the banquet table to feast on that which has been prepared by God.
