Product Description
Evangelization, contrary to what many people believe, is not just a Protestant concern; in fact, writes Robert Rivers, it is Catholic to the core. In this practical, approachable work he suggests that the Catholic parish is a wonderful setting to carry out the evangelizing work of the church. He makes the case that evangelization holds they key to the future of the church because it was in fact the centerpiece of post-Vatican Council reform. Drawing from the USCCB document Go and Make Disciples, which offers a comprehensive plan and strategy for evangelization, he explores ways to challenge us to become Catholic evangelizers. And he proposes ways to move from maintenance to mission-oriented parishes. "My purpose," affirms the author, "is to try to place before the reader a compelling vision of Catholic evangelization and share some strategic thinking that might enable us to implement the great vision to which we have been called." He attains that goal convincingly, practically, and hopefully.

WOW September 7, 2007
This book helped me to define all the mistakes we make in ministry and how to keep the staff and parish community focused and positive as it reaches out to fulfill its mission.
Great book.
Maintenance to Mission November 6, 2006
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Terrific book which tells it like it is in a non-judgemental style. It gives parishes a goal to work toward so that the routine "irritations" become secondary to the real mission of the Church.
