1. WHY THIS BOOK?

Many have said to me, "My ministry is fruitless; I fail in my invitations; I do not seem to be able to get folks forward for prayer."

A pastor said to me, "Brother Aycock, for nearly thirty years you were an evangelist and God gave you many souls. Why do you not hold conferences among your pastors and tell us how you gave an invitation? I need advice and I am sure others do also."

Acting on this suggestion, I held six such conferences with the pastors on my district, giving them in the very words I would use in revival campaigns the methods I have used across the years in drawing the net. They seemed to appreciate the message and in each instance voted that it be published, and that is the WHY of THIS BOOK.
