Reviews

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an excellent book on missions. It is the one book that I would recommend to anyone if they wanted to read something about Christian missions. Very challenging and relevant to American Christians, even those who do not intend to pursue traditional "mission work" in another country.

[Ronnie Curfman]

I really had a hard time with this book. There are some redeeming qualities, but none great enough to earn a recommendation. Basically, don't waste your time.

[Tim]

Great perspective to any American Christian trying to understand what it means to take part in God's mission for the world.
