Very helpful book on the “how to” of sending and supporting missionaries. There is much debate on how best to send missionaries around the globe, but Very helpful book on the “how to” of sending and supporting missionaries. There is much debate on how best to send missionaries around the globe, but Paul Seger does a good job of not getting too caught up in the debates, but gives practical help to churches and church leadership.

I would hand this out as a youth pastor to get a conversation going, however, this is not a theological or really even a “Christian” book in my opinion. It’s a look at technology and how to avoid its pitfalls by a teenager. She’s winsome. Helpful at times. Sometimes it lacks Christian depth or Christian worldview, but overall I think it will be one that can be given out and will be helpful to families. Also, I liked the style of the father/daughter kind of back-and-forth. It was sweet and fun. ...more

Actually reminded me a lot of Ecclesiastes 9:11 “Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.”
Lots to learn about how success has been shaped through community and circumstances. As a Christian, these are important realities as we think about the local church and its impact on disciples. God has built community into our lives, and Malcolm Gladwell, although not writing from a Christian worldview, recognizes this reality in the world at large. ...more
