The Magic of Telephone Evangelism
Metcalf
1967
I guess in 1967, the phone might be considered a breakthrough technology for those in the evangelism business. Dialing a number for prayers, weather information, jokes, was an actual thing back in the day. I remember as a kid calling a dial a joke line, complete with a laugh track. Think of this as a precursor to the 900 lines of the nineties, without the credit card.
Our author is all over this “new” method of reaching the people. He has ideas for churches to set up teen lines, weight loss through prayer, no smoking lines, and Bible verses. This book includes some scripts, marketing ideas and other tips for churches to do this kind of outreach.
I think we can file this one under obsolete. Maybe the churches should start websites instead?
