Worldview For Christian Witness
$63.51In Worldview for Christian Witness, Charles Kraft invites readers to understand REALITY as God sees it by learning to take seriously the insights of other societies. The diversity of cultures can seem obvious, but to really understand the significance of those surface level differences, one needs to understand the deep level assumptions on which they are based.
“The whole purpose of the book is to help cross-cultural witnesses learn how to discover a people’s worldview, to understand it, and then present the gospel in such a way that it leads to deep worldview change.-Darrell Whiteman, Vice President of Mission Education, The Mission Society

5. Spirit Led Discernment And Decision Making
6. Spirit Led Leadership And Organization
7. Spirit Led Growth And DevelopmentAdditional Info
There’s a different kind of church conversation going on these days–one that moves beyond just focusing on purpose, strategies, or recovering early church practices. Craig Van Gelder argues that understanding the nature of the church is foundational for clarifying the purpose of the church and for developing and organizing its ministry.
Moving beyond methods and techniques to create or sustain church growth, Van Gelder shows that when a church is focused on Spirit-led ministry, growth and development are the natural outcome.The Ministry of the Missional Church brings together theology and organizational theory in a way that inspires biblical and theological imagination about how to let the church be the church–a Spirit-led, missional community that seeks to participate fully in God’s mission in its particular place in the world.

From Head Hunters To Church Planters
$22.99IVP Print On Demand Title
There is a tendency today to associate revival and miracles with charismatic churches, but there were none of those in Nagaland when God first brought revival there. These powerful and life-changing visitations came to orderly, conservative Baptist congregations. As a result, Nagas found their true dignity not in themselves, their ethnic roots, their head-hunting, or the defense of their homeland, but they discovered it in the person and life of Jesus Christ, the living and one true God. This is a moving story of bravery and betrayal, suffering, persecution, supernatural intervention, and subsequent human weakness.

Text And Task
$58.31Practical, scriptural and contemporary, Text and Task is a series of essays on Scripture and mission. It aims to show the significance of reading the biblical text appropriately and with faithful engagement for our theology and missiology.
A team of biblical scholars suggests ways forward in areas such as the implicit missional narrative of David and Goliath, the story of Solomon and his Temple-building, the genre of lament, the explicit gracious message of the prophet Isaiah, Paul’s understanding of divine call and gospel, and the place of mission as a hermeneutic for reading the Bible. Theological chapters engage the issues of the Trinity and the unevangelized, the missional dimensions of Barth’s view of election, the gospel’s loss of plausibility in the modern West, the place of reaching in mission, and the idea of belonging to a church community before one believes the gospel.
Drawing together scholars from the fields of biblical studies, theology, sociology and homiletics, Text and Task relates critically engaged textual reading to contemporary ongoing Christian life, thought and mission.

practice.Set within a framework of the Kingdom of God, David demonstrates what the “Kingdom down to earth” really implies for Church-based Kingdom social action.

Father To The Fatherless
$18.95Six year-old Charles Mulli wakes up in his Kenyan hut to discover his parents have abandoned him. Forced to beg from hut to hut in search of food, Charles scrapes out a meagre existence while trying to come to terms with his abusive past. Then, in a dramatic turn of events, Charles experiences unprecedented success. He finds a wonderful wife, raises a family, excels in business to such a degree that he creates an empire that is noticed by the President of Kenya, and he becomes a pinnacle in the church movement. Charles is on top of the world. And then his world changes. In spite of his tremendous achievements, the plight of the growing street children problem in his country remains strong in Charles’ heart. He is unable to shut out their cries, the cries he understands so well, and he realizes he must respond. Father to the Fatherless tells the true story of a man who makes a decision to sell everything he has to help the poor. It’s a decision that goes so counter-intuitive to those around him that he is soon completely ostracized, forcing him to carry out what seems like an impossible and unexplainable mission. Now, armed only with his relationship with God, Charles and his family struggle on physical, financial and spiritual fronts to rescue street children from the slums of Kenya and provide them with the hope of new life.

Mother Teacher : From The Memoirs Of Lois Callaway Missionary To The Mien P
$18.73Refugees fleeing the communists were crammed into filthy barbed-wire camps in Thailand. The camps were bursting with the sick, the hungry, the dying, and the hopeless. Lois Callaway was an American missionary in Thailand at that time. Yoon Choy Saechao was a young village boy in Laos whose life was forever changed by the Silent War. It was in the stench of the Chiangkham refugee camp that their lives intersected and Yoon Choy found salvation. These two stories have become a singular story of crossing cultures and survival. It is as much a tribute to Lois Callaway as to the Mien people, including Yoon Choy, whom she loved and served. This book details many fascinating missionary experiences of Lois and C.W. Callaway in England, Burma, China, and mainly Thailand from 1946 to 1998.

Desert Rat : The Remarkable Story Of Aileen Coleman
$19.98She has been celebrated by the princely and noble as well as the lowly and oppressed. She is known by many names-“The Angel of the Desert,” “Blood Brother to the Bedouin,” and “A’raisa, the Leader”-and through “honors” bestowed upon her by Queen Elizabeth, she is entitled to be known as Dame Aileen Coleman.

Who Can Be Saved
$55.99IVP Print On Demand Title
The question of salvation in relation to the world religions has become especially poignant in recent years. For evangelical theology, this query becomes even more pressing in light of the millions throughout history who have never heard the gospel. This group includes: the unborn, those who never reach an age of accountability, those who never achieve the capacity to understand the gospel, those who lived before the time of Christ, and those who live after Christ’s resurrection who are not evangelized. Tiessen offers a constructive approach in his reassessment of salvation in Christ and the world religions in this engaging and accessible volume. Who Can Be Saved? is divided into two sections; the first explores the many possibilities of how and what type of people are saved, while the second views how the world religions relate to God’s purposes in the world. Tiessen provides an important contribution to a Christian theology of religions, which is evangelically grounded and missiologically informed.

Missions Nationalism And The End Of Empire
$48.99Christian missions have often been seen as the religious arm of Western imperialism. What is rarely appreciated is the role they played in bringing about an end to the Western colonial empires after the Second World War. “Missions, Nationalism, and the End of Empire” explores this neglected subject.
Respected authorities on the history of missions explore new territory in these chapters, examining from diverse angles the linkages between Christianity, nationalism, and the dissolution of the colonial empires in Asia and Africa. This work not only sheds light on the relation of religion and politics but also uncovers the sometimes paradoxical implications of the church’s call to bring the gospel to all the world.

Missionary Zeal And Institutional Control
$41.50In the historical literature on mission, this book stands out for its detailed examination of the of the organization dynamics that gave shape-and brought enduring success-to the Evangelical Missionary Scoiety at Basel. A first-rate account of the early Basel Mission on the Gold Coast of West Africa (present-day Ghana), this volume takes readers inside the mission itself, revealing its dynamic, though sometimes contradictory, methods of motivation and discipline and how they impacted effective evangelism both at home and abroad.

4 Year Old And A Prayer
$21.23My Journey From Florida To Alaska And Back Spanning 73 Years In a remote Alaskan village above the Arctic Circle, I came face to face with my human limitations. Being a credentialed woman minister, along with my husband who was called to serve as a missionary, I was chastised by well-meaning Christians who believed I should serve in a more submissive role, or I should not be a woman minister, period. I was bothered by these comments, but they didn’t stop me because my husband supported me one hundred percent. I was and continue to be a strong personality with lots of perseverance and faith until one day I was so lonely and I cried out, “Lord if only my mother were here, so I could talk to her, woman to woman.” He replied instantly, “If your own mother had lived, she would have spoiled you, and you could not take the hard places here.” I began to see my earlier life was training for later challenges. That brought back memories of my childhood… A story of how God led one woman and her family from sunny Florida to remote villages above the Arctic Circle in Alaska as missionaries and back again. A story of courage, faith and obedience of one woman and her family, intermingled with stories of God’s intimate fellowship, guidance and answered prayers.
