Top Highlights

“His concern was not with programs to reach the multitudes, but with men whom the multitudes would follow.” (Page 21)

“Jesus did not have the time nor the desire to scatter himself on those who wanted to make their own terms of discipleship.” (Page 46)

“One cannot transform a world except as individuals in the world are transformed, and individuals cannot be changed except as they are molded in the hands of the Master. The necessity is apparent not only to select a few helpers but also to keep the group small enough to be able to work effectively with them.” (Pages 23–24)

“Everything that is done with the few is for the salvation of the multitudes.” (Page 30)

“Knowledge was gained by association before it was understood by explanation” (Page 34)

Praise for the Print Edition

The greatest insights are almost always simple. The Master Plan of Evangelism contains such insights. In it Robert Coleman has set forth an understanding of Jesus’ approach to reaching out to precious people and invites us to do the same.

—Richard J. Foster, author, Celebration of Discipline

I came across The Master Plan of Evangelism many years ago while serving as a missionary-evangelist in Latin America. When the Spanish language version was published, I was honored to write the foreword to it for the sake of the tens of millions of Hispanic Christians in nearly twenty-five nations. I join with the thousands of Christian leaders who have recommended The Master Plan of Evangelism, used it, and seen the fruit of this New Testament master plan from the Master himself.
