| | Title: The Importance of Printed Media
Description: 60% of the converts said that printed media played a role in their conversion. 17% mentioned an evangelistic tract. For every positive mention I ever heard about the evangelistic value of tracts, I am sure I heard at least ten negative ones in my life. Yet in Thailand evangelistic tracts were influential in the conversion of almost twice as many people as radio and television combined!

| | Title: Conversion Growth of Protestant Churches in Thailand
Description: This thesis is a must read for every missionary who wants to understand the Body of Christ in Thailand. It is the most comprehensive overview of the Thai church written since Alex Smith published "Siamese Gold: the Church in Thailand" in 1982. This study is a statistical analysis of hypotheses about conversion and church growth, and therefore takes the study of church growth one step further than is usually done in missiological studies.
