Books on missions are written by thinkers, doers or reporters; thinkers tell us God’s blueprint for mission, doers tell us to get on with it, and reporters tell heart-warming stories.
Here is a book that combines all three. Roughly half the book deals with key biblical teaching and its implications, helping us think rightly about mission; the second half covers practical matters of strategy, planning and adaptability; and interspersed throughout are vivid firsthand reports of God’s work from Pakistan to Paraguay and Brazil to Burkina Faso.
