The Bridges of God by Donald McGavran - Ch. 4

"Some reflection will show that a people always has its own pre-Christian religion around which the life of its members revolves."

Perhaps the "pre-Christian religion" of our people is consumerism or materialism or the like.

I also very much like McGavran's distinction between discipling and perfecting. I think he has the order right, and I think we'd do well to remember it, especially as we think about Peoples coming to Christ.

His points about leaders choosing to convert and nations following is a valid one as well.
