Invitation: Order Now: Send $14.99 + $5 s/h to Step-by-step instructions on how to prepare a soulwinning invitation.

Bonus: Extra chapter addressing Reformed objections to the invitation.
From the introduction: Evangelistic preaching has no more important function than the issuing of an effective invitation. The invitation is not an appendage to the evangelistic sermon, but the sermon's conclusion. During the invitation, the preacher calls upon the hearers to act upon the Gospel truth just presented. Since the primary goal of the message is to bring listeners into a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, any evangelistic sermon that does not include an invitation is incomplete. Few pastors know how to give a good invitation. Since most courses in homiletics do not cover this subject and few books have ever been written to prepare pastors in this vital area, they have no idea where to turn for assistance. To this end, I wrote THE EFFECTIVE INVITATION: A WORKBOOK. Its pages contain very practical help on drawing the gospel net. I designed The Invitation Workbook to help you organize, prepare, and present an effective invitation. It takes the principles found in chapter 8 of The Effective Invitation, and puts them into graphic form. Whereas the book explains how to give an invitation, the workbook shows you how to do it. Within these pages, I actually guide you step-by-step through the invitation process. You have at your fingertips contemporary illustrations of repentance and faith, corresponding scriptures and motivating themes, plus reproducible worksheets, checklists and sample invitations. As you learn to master my method, you will discover that you will be spending less and less time in preparation. Additionally, your finished product - polished, God-honoring invitations - will become sharper and more effective. I pray you will soon experience the joy of having the Holy Spirit use your evangelistic invitations to draw many souls into the Kingdom of God.
