Margaret Agard and her new husband Parker felt the call—sell all that you have and follow in missionary work. Starting out in one of Parker's projects (a restored 1980 El Camino), Agard shares a compelling and often humorous account of the life of modern-day servant/missionaries. From an inner city Hispanic church to the wilds of Alaska, Agard's account of missionary stories radiates warmly from her skillful depiction of the characters she befriended. Agard invokes people and life lessons that become a part of you.

In 1991, the Iron Curtain was coming down. The Soviet Union was in collapse and Eastern Europe was entering an era of sweeping change. Six Florida teens and their 28-year-old leader joined a student exchange trip to Siberia, entirely unprepared for the impact that their young lives—and more importantly, their faith in Jesus Christ—would have on a country emerging from 70 years of enforced atheism. The Cold War would not end, as many feared, in a nuclear holocaust. Instead, Russia was about to experience a fresh encounter with the Prince of Peace.

Is the God of the Bible still relevant today? There has never been a time when God should be more relevant! He alone can answer our deepest questions: Why am I here? What is my purpose? How to establish a relationship with Him? Michael Borthwick, an analytical thinker shaped by his mechanical training, responds to the question of God's relevance in today's world with an easy-to-understand handbook, skillfully weaving biblical scripture with personal life experiences to present an authentic answer to why the God of the Bible makes sense for today's society.

Jesus told His followers to go into the world and preach the Good News. However, many Christians aren’t fulfilling this Great Commission. The call to “evangelize” conjures up uncomfortable images of walking inner city streets with a megaphone. We don’t relish facing possible ridicule so prevalent in society today, so we hesitate to reach out. But we are called to witness. And it isn’t that difficult. When we anchor in the goodness of Christ, we realize that sharing the Gospel is a profound honor.

A life of signs, wonders, and miracles awaits! When Christians hear the word “evangelism”, they are immediately uncomfortable. The call to “share your faith” puts many on edge because, while common evangelism “formulas” feel awkward and impersonal, without them one is left fumbling and ineffective. But what if there was a better way? What if evangelism could, in fact, be a prophetic encounter with the supernatural voice of God? In Prophetic Evangelism, author, missionary, and evangelist, Sean Smith reintroduce believers to Jesus’ “model” of evangelism.

The gospel of Jesus has not always been good news for Native Americans. The history of North America is marred by atrocities committed against Native peoples. Indigenous cultures were erased in the name of Christianity. As a result, to this day few Native Americans are followers of Jesus. However, despite the far-reaching effects of colonialism, some Natives have forged culturally authentic ways to follow the way of Jesus. In his final work, Richard Twiss provides a contextualized Indigenous expression of the Christian faith among the Native communities of North America.

Through skills, spiritual gifts and nursing prayers, Jesus works through the Christian nurse to heal the body and soul.
