This edited book is a testimony to the fact that African Evangelism truly engenders transformational impulses and insights. The rivers of faith that flow throughout the African diaspora have inexorably produced fresh constellations for engaging Christianity. The perspectives and paradigms that are carefully laid out in this book are creative, critical, and cross-cultural. I recommend it with robust enthusiasm.
