Produktbeschreibung

Dismantling the Myths that Obscure God's Great Plan The church is called to glorify God by blessing all peoples of the world through the gospel of Jesus Christ. But questions about missions abound. Is missions an outdated idea? Do missionaries do more harm than good? Are we succeeding or failing? We don't need to fear questions like these. But we do need to seek--and find--solid, biblical answers. Is the Commission Still Great? dismantles the myths that obscure God's beautiful plan to make disciples of all nations. Author and missionary kid Steve Richardson uses stories from Scripture, history, and his own ministry experience to impart timely lessons on modern missions. Richardson also draws from the wisdom of field missionaries, sending agencies, pastors, and church members. Each chapter finishes with thought-provoking questions. Christians are equipped to become joyful participants--not spectators--in the redemption of the world.
