Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So!

by H. Eddie Fox, George E. Morris

A new millennium is dawning and this pivotal time in history provides the perfect setting for Christian witness, according to this newly released edition of a classic on how to share one's faith. The book explores the fact that many churches do not believe that witnessing is their calling. Fox and Morris say that churches are shy about their lack of knowledge and ability to effectively communicate the message of the Gospel. Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So! attempts to erase the fears of inadequate witnessing and give confidence to Christians to spread the Word. It is a book for individuals who long to be effective witnesses, for congregations who have a desire to reach people and grow, and for college and seminary classes that are designed to motivate and inspire witnessing, according to Maxie D. Dunman of Asbury Theological Seminary and the World Methodist Council, who wrote the Foreword.

No one has had more influence on the growth of worldwide Methodism in the last half century than Eddie Fox. This book captures his grace-filled approach to evangelism, offers some practical advice for the “witness” (usually the preacher), and testifies to his hope for the future of Methodism, with some anecdotal stories from George Morris thrown in. The book is dated, written prior to the turn of the millennium, but the principles are still applicable. In many respects, the worldwide outpouring Fox and Morris envision is becoming a reality today. I particularly appreciate their attention to inviting a response. If there is a weakness, it is that the term “witness,” while intentionally inclusive of laity, seems to largely apply to pulpit preachers.
