Evangelism in an Age of Despair: Hope Beyond the Failed Promise of Happiness  

Andrew Root’s Evangelism in an Age of Despair presents a thought-provoking take on evangelism. It is not so much a book about evangelism as about the ministry of consolation, which he defines as sharing someone’s sorrow and worry.
