Refusal to submit his book Secular Evangelism to official censorship brought Major Fred Brown of The Salvation Army into the headlines in September 1970. As a result of his protest, he was suspended from duty and later dismissed from The Salvation Army altogether.
During his enforced idleness he wrote the present book. It is a sequel to Secular Evangelism, and it takes up many of the themes first raised there. Now that the initial controversy has died down, however, Fred Brown can be seen for what he primarily is. He is not a rebel against an organisation, but on compassionate evangelist. Anxious to find a new language for the realities of Christianity, which he believes to be truer than anything else in the world. This new language is not at abstruse or complex, but that of simple everyday speech, and it is spoken by a man whose own beliefs have been put to a particularly searching test.
