Tyris and I both have free copies of the Dangers of the Invitation System to give away. The book looks at the very popular but dangerous evangelistic tool called “the invitation system” as described in the title. Pastor Ehrhard informs on why this system “usually” does not produce true fruit bearing Christians, the history behind the system and then examines the bible to clearly point out that this method was never employed by the Apostles. It is a fairly light read maybe 75-80 pages or so. Pastor Ehrhard wastes no time with getting straight to the point. No fluff, just pages packed with clear biblical teaching. So leave a mailing address in your comments to this post and Tyris or I will ensure that you get a copy. We will follow up when we are nearly out. Below is a small excerpt from the book.
As a young minister, I once made the “mistake” of closing a Wednesday evening service without extending a public invitation. Early the next morning, an irate husband came to my office. For the first time in years, his unsaved wife had come with him to church. “If you had only given an invitation,” he angrily explained, “she would have gone down the aisle.”—Dangers of the Invitation System, chapter 1
Heck yeah I’ll take one!
May I just send an email with my address instead?
Lionel and Tyris,
Blessings to you both…Pleeeeeeeze send me one!!!! The alter call has been a staple of many churches for years, and I would love a challenging resource such as this so that I can offer a biblical prospective. Isn’t it true that Charles Finney was the culprit of making this widely popular? I may be mistaken, but I’m sure that you gentlemen will correct me if I am. I appreciate the work and ministry that both of you are doing, and I look forward to hearing from you.

A few years back I gave a lecture at my former church of why we didn’t have an altar call. Even the altar call sympathizers found it helpful and informative.
I have an audio link, if interested, at http://www.Gunny93.com.
Also, Iain Murray had a good booklet on The Invitation System back in the day that was worth a read.
Lots of love to you, brother, and thanks for the book!
Keep up the good work and I would definitely like a copy.
