In his cogent book, Coming to Jesus: Giving a Good Invitation, evangelism professor and spiritual awakenings historian, Roy Fish, presented the biblical and historical justification for the invitation—the public appeal to respond to the gospel—and counsels preachers in giving effective invitations. Fish demonstrated the biblical nature and history of the invitation by exploring public appeals that occur in the Old and New Testament and that took place during the spiritual awakenings of modern history. Fish also championed the public nature of the invitation with examples of Jesus’ emphasis on public confession and explains how preachers of the gospel may appeal in sensitive and rhetorically sound ways for their hearers to become followers of Jesus.
