The object of this volume, with its twelve differing approaches, is to supply the reader with a scriptural definition of soul-winning, some directions to witnesses, and some conditioning for the task. There are three books directly concerned with the art and practice of Soul-Winning; three books that make an appeal to the unconverted to awake and be saved before the threatenings of God's Law take effect. There are two books defining the necessity of repentance, and one book showing that the power of conversion does not rest in human will, but is in the hands of a gracious God through Jesus Christ. There are three books which depict the sinfulness of the unconverted, and the hope and joy of the converted after God has given new life and has cleansed the soul. First is Charles Spurgeon's Soul Winner in which readers will see the man at his most fervent and eloquent role as a winner of souls.
Joseph Alleine's Alarm to the Unconverted is included, a book so powerful that it has been through over 300 printings (more than any Christian Classic except for Pilgrim's Progress). Thousands, over the centuries, have been converted through reading this book.
Richard Baxter's A Call to the Unconverted calls on every parent to read this book to their children, or have their older children read this book.
Then for those who think they can save themselves, Martin Luther's Bondage of the Will is included.
Many today in modern America do not think that repentance or turning from one's sins is necessary to salvation so Thomas Boston's Repentance is included
For those who regularly work with the unconverted daily, two more are included: The Art of Man-Fishing by Thomas Boston and Words to Winners of Souls by Horatius Bonar.
Finally, There are four titles by Thomas Goodwin including; On Repentance, The Vanity of Thoughts, Let Patience Have Its Perfect Work, and The Return of Prayers.
