That None Should Perish: How to Reach Entire Cities for Christ Through Prayer Evangelism

Rating:
Summary: Solid, practical guidance backed up with copious examples.
Review:
Immediately after hearing Ed Silvoso speak at Spring Harvest, I knew I had to buy this book. Ed Silvoso claims to have found the key to evangelising entire cities - and he may well have.
The book comes in two parts. Firstly, the author demonstrates the use of his strategy for city-wide evangelism, and in the second part, outlines the strategy itself.
In clear, easily digested and immensly practical stages, Ed Silvoso examines the procedure for prayer evangelising your own city - starting even from a committed group of four or five.
If you want your city to come to the Lord - this is the book for you!

Summary: All pastors & christian leaders should buy this book!
Review: All pastors and christian leaders should get this book! Ed Silvoso knows what he is talking about. He's been there and through God's grace and help he has participated in taking whole cities for Jesus. Ed writes and presents what the Lord has shown him as a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.

If you want to be part of taking your city for our Lord Jesus Christ you must get this book.

Summary: Book dishonors God and is not Biblically accurate.
Review: The author dishonors God and is Biblically inaccurate when he describes God as not having control of what happened on earth from the time Adam sinned to the time Jesus was crucified.

He claims that when God created Adam, he made Adam master of the entire earth. However, the "ownership" of earth passed to Satan when Adam sinned. Once Satan had ownership, God was left looking from the outside without being able to influence events on earth. According to Ed Silvoso, God was no longer in charge of his creation and was unable to challenge Satan in things related to man and earth. God was only able to regain control of earth when Jesus was crucified.

In the Bible it is very clear that God had control of events throughout all history. Two examples come to mind. In the book of Job, Satan had to obtain direct and specific permission from God before doing anything to Job and Moses led Israel out of Egypt under the direct control of God.

The book is dangerously vague as to which denominations should be allowed to join in your prayer evangelism. Should you allow Catholics, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, etc? To which denominations or religions whould you lend your efforts? Who will take care of the new sheep?

The author also fails to discuss the dangers of compromise. In order to bring all the denominations of a city as one in prayer you have to be careful not to compromise your faith and your Biblical beliefs.

Before reading this or any other religious book, you need to be very familiar with the Bible and stand in sound doctrine. This book does not stand in sound Biblical doctrine.

Summary: LIFE CHANGING BOOK! EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ IT!
Review: This book has not only changed my life but has changed the coarse of our church and city. Ed is such a wise and insightful man of God. He is such a clear and talented writer. It is obvious that he deeply loves the Lord and therefore has a sincere love for all people. He is one of our favorite public speakers. My wife and I met Ed Silvoso at a book signing once and he proved to be one of the most down to earth, humble, and kindest public figures we have ever met. This book is so awesome! Read it! When is his next book coming out?

Summary: A Motivational Book
Review: This is a book by a practitioner of missions and evangelism. Ed. Silvoso wrote this book from his own experience of reaching the cities. This book has provided practical strategy as well as biblical insight for those who want their cities to be transformed with multitudes turning to the Lord.

There is no dichotomy between prayer and evangelism. The one who prays cannot run away from the evangelistic task of reaching the people for Christ. And the one who evangelizes cannot do so without being a praying person. Both prayer and evangelism are closely knitted together that prayer evangelism is the biblical strategy provided for leading the pre-believers and seekers into the Kingdom of God.

I commend this book to every Christian who wants to be a partner in gathering the Lord's harvest. And those who make an attempt to read it thoroughly and thoghtfully are likely motivated to look at the vast harvest field with renewed insight.
