The Unlikely Missionary: From Pew-Warmer to Poverty-Fighter
What does it take to break away from the kind of lukewarm faith that binds so many well-meaning Christians in the church today? When Jesus called the Twelve, He called them to a revolutionary life.

I felt in a way like I was reading a few blog entries when reading this book as there were some pictures and links to youtube videos and more on it. It was pretty simple and got the point across. It wa...more
A conversational style, easy to read testimony of how a mission trip inspired a man's life to do more.
