For more than one hundred years, E. Stanley Jones has led the way in evangelism by contextualizing Christ in the existing culture, wherever that may be. In The Christ of the Indian Road, he recounts his experiences in India, where he arrived as a young and presumptuous missionary who later matured into a veteran who attempted to contextualize Jesus Christ within the Indian culture. Jones names the mistakes many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture.

The untold story of William Haas, pioneering missionary to central Africa and founder of Baptist Mid-Missions. In the early 1900s, a question loomed large: who would take the gospel to central Africa, one of the world’s last regions untouched by missions. Few people dared to explore this rugged frontier let alone bring the gospel. Central Africa’s untamed wildlife and virulent diseases brought the very real potential of death to outsiders.

What if Mother Teresa or Billy Graham lived and worked — and nobody knew their names? What if one of the church’s most influential missionaries went almost unnoticed? Meet Katharine (Katy) Barnwell. Within Bible translation, she’s a legend. Outside of Bible translation, few have heard of her. But not even Billy Graham holds a candle to what God did through Katy.

This book will help you present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Muslims in an engaging and effective way. Many people over the years have asked me questions about presenting the Gospel to Muslims. In fact, they have had more questions on this topic than on any other. Their message was clear: Sharing the Gospel with Muslims is no easy task. I have come to believe that their greatest need is not a book that presents stories or testimonies to share with Muslims or one that gives sample conversations with Muslims.

All believers long to hear Jesus tell them “Well done,” yet few understand biblically who Jesus will say this to! This book gives you the certainty of hearing those most coveted words! As Christians, your entrance into heaven was purchased without your effort—simply attained by your faith in Jesus. However the experience of your eternal life in heaven is currently being determined by your life here on earth. So how can you be sure your efforts, sacrifice and sincerity are enough for Jesus to tell you "well done"?

Let’s Go! Moving Forward in Faith is a modern-day faith adventure! This is the story of an ordinary person, blessed with an out-of-the-ordinary life, because of faith in an extraordinary God. How one woman with a willing heart, said “yes” and “send me.” With each new God-given assignment, Deborah J. Andrews was required to dig deeper than ever before until the biggest ask of all—the day she and her family were directed to leave their home and life in Canada and move to Scotland, with no plans, no connections, and with no idea why they were being sent.

This no-compromise biblical clarion call to revival is timeless. Leonard Ravenhill clearly shows how the church can be brought from where it is to where it ought to be. The church still needs his message, first published in 1983, for as Ravenhill said, "We live in a generation which has never known revival God's way." The message is drastic, fearless, and often radical. His goal for the church is nothing less than full restoration to the glory, power, holiness, and dignity that Christ intended for it.

Think about Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000: What if only the first three rows were fed, leaving the last rows untouched? Similarly, despite Jesus’ call to spread his message to the “ends of the Earth,” over a third of the world lacks access to the gospel. Mission efforts disproportionately prioritize people with gospel access while ignoring those without. A mere penny from every dollar spent on foreign missions reaches the ends of the earth. Kelley, writing in a way that makes a legal scholar jealous, brings us the facts, figures, and passion to expose the massive wrong with compelling evidence.

Both an emerging term and a developing concept, business as mission (BAM) has drawn much fascination in both mission and business circles, with the concept of strategically using business to accomplish missional purposes. Though the term is ubiquitous in mission circles, there is great disparity in what it means. There has been much talk about BAM in theory, but far less research done on how it works out in reality.

Many of us spend a large portion of our waking hours at work. For some, it’s hard to find time for anything else. How do we follow Jesus and deal with the demands of our job? What if we stopped viewing our work as an obstacle and started seeing it as an opportunity? Could our relationship with Jesus change the way we view, value, and behave at work?

You’ve said “yes” to God’s call to go, and now you will pack up your things and step into the unknown of a new location, people, and culture.
