Nick Spencer of LICC has written a brief article, Journeys and stories. It summarises his new book of the same title, which describes the major reasons why around 15,000 or more people become Christians in Britain today, despite the spiritually hostile climate. It is based on research in Scotland. There were three major factors: firstly, individuals (often friends or family members); secondly, God (phew!), and thirdly the impact of the church.
To me this is all welcoming and refreshing. It downplays all the technique and programming nonsense and underlines the importance of individual and corporate spiritual wholeness.
