The Soul-Winner's Secret: How to Convert Others to the Christian Cause Through Spiritual Leadership and an Organized Church

The Soul-Winner's Secret demonstrates a series of techniques and traits which ministers and missionaries alike must employ to convert wayward souls to the cause of Jesus Christ. Winning souls is not easy or for the fainthearted; often, those who have strayed from the embrace of the Lord are either ashamed or of poor moral character; consequently, they feel unable to reconcile with the Christian faith. Brengle demonstrates how winning souls to the cause is a matter of having the correct message in mind, possessing the means to perceive the character and desires of others, and preserving one's own health and the finances of one's church. Samuel Logan Brengle was an early commissioner of the Salvation Army; a position which led him to encounter many unfortunate people. The organization would help many thousands of unlucky individuals who had been variously struck by poverty or misfortune; setting these souls back on their feet remains the organization's mission to this day.
