It was wonderful to get our ‘monergism’ from the postman today. We were amazed that it was so quick, maybe less than a week from USA to Australia. What a great ministry! We ordered some brilliant books, including 2 evangelism manuals, The Gospel and Personal Evangelism, by Mark Dever and Tell the Truth by Will Metzger.
Had a quick flick through both and I’m excited to have these amazing practical evangelism books in my hot little hands. One diagram from Metzger’s weighty book jumped out at me as I flicked through it. There is, of course, a detailed explanation of the diagram in the book but its something interesting to think about:
"...I can't think of any other real purpose for which God has Christians on this planet other than to help bring his chosen ones into his kingdom through the proclamation of the gospel..." 
"...I have also been transformed in my thinking by the WOTM evangelism teaching and wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. I enjoy sound doctrine and the occasional foray into apologetics." 
"...I have always desired to see people become Christians... I now know that I am being highly effective when I witness to friends and strangers because they are hearing the biblical gospel that can save them."

Have you listened to the “Together for the Gospel” conference 2008? Mark Dever’s book is mentioned quite a bit.
