Excerpt from The Renaissance of Methodism
This latest movement is an indication of a renewed interest in soul-winning, and we shall devoutly pray that it may mean a Re naissance of Methodism.
The rise of Methodism was the revival of primitive Christianity. The Wesleys and their co-workers were apostolic in life and labors. In the United Kingdom, Christian ity had become a mere dogma or a divine scheme of philosophy - nothing more. In sermon and in song the vvesleys taught that Christianity was a divine power, and that nothing short of a new birth by the Holy Spirit of God would entitle a man to be called a Christian. This was the secret of the marvelous growth of Methodism in Great Britain and, later, in our own land. The conversion of the soul by faith in Christ, followed by the witness of the Spirit to adoption, was the great theme of these heaven-sent heralds of the Cross, whose school of theology had been the Holy Club.
Thus it was that, from the beginning, Meth odism was like the early Christian Church - a revival Church.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the decline of evangelism within Methodism and advocates for a return to the practices of aggressive evangelism that characterized the movement's early years. The author argues that Methodism must re-emphasize the importance of soul-winning, personal work, and special revival services to reignite the spiritual fervor that propelled the movement's early growth. The book also discusses the importance of an anointed ministry and an anointed Church as prerequisites for revival, emphasizing that both clergy and laity must be filled with the Holy Spirit to effectively spread the gospel message. By exploring the historical roots of Methodism's evangelistic success and identifying key elements that have been neglected in recent years, this book provides valuable insights for churches seeking to revitalize their evangelistic efforts and reignite the flame of revival.
