About the book
Compassion Evangelism gives a poignant look into the role the church plays
in meeting the needs of people through compassionate ministries. Nees attempts
to describe the proper balance necessary between social activism and salvation,
taking us back to our roots in John Wesley and Phineas Bresee. This book
will challenge you and the church to become more directly in meeting the
needs of a lost and hurting world.
