Taking Men Alive is a classic guide for Christian ministers, pastors and missionaries seeking to convert souls to the faith. Containing a selection of advice rooted in the long experience of the author, Taking Men Alive demonstrates how to soundly convert people to the Christian faith. Deflecting and countering the common criticisms or rebukes issued by the convert, and seeking to introduce him to the creed of Jesus Christ in a spirit of conviviality, summarizes the approach taken in this superb and practical guidebook. How to engage the potential convert in dialogue, and understanding his own concerns and quandaries in life is central to this text's guidance. Seeking common ground and shared subjects of interest is a core tenet of Trumbull's teaching. While this advice - and the example dialogues it contains - date to the early 20th century, its wisdom is essentially timeless and of value to the modern priest or pastor. This book conveys clear and astute advice, and encourage the reader to think through questions at the beginning and end of every chapter. Charles Gallaudet Trumbull was an educator, preacher and author who spent decades in the service of the Lord. Many of his books, which ranged from simple advice to biographies of fellow authors, became Sunday School classics during his lifetime.
