The Supremacy of God in Missions
|
John Piper
Contemporary 
|
"... worship is ... the fuel of missions. Passion for God in worship precedes
the offer of God in preaching. You can't commend what you don't cherish.
Missionaries will never call out, 'Let the nations be glad!, who cannot say
from the heart, "I rejoice in the Lord ... I will be glad and exult in thee, I
will sing praise to thy name, O Most High' ... Missions begins and ends in
worship." (You will have to get the book to read the rest).
Highly recommended!

James I. Packer
Contemporary

How often do we hear the objection that, 'If God has already decided who will
be saved, there is no need to preach the gospel.' Packer deals with this and
other related issues.
Highly recommended!

Walt Chantry
Contemporary 
|
Chantry examines our Lord's encounter with the rich young ruler as a pattern
for evangelism, and finds that modern evangelistic methods do not fit the
pattern. Chantry shows that true evangelism proclaims God's character, God's
law, repentance toward God and faith toward Christ. He also examines the
subjects of assurance of salvation and of preaching with dependence upon God.
Highly recommended!

Roland Allen
1868-1947 
|
What better model for missions than that of the apostle Paul? Allen contrasts
modern missionary methods with those used by Paul, and calls us back to the
Pauline model. Allen was an Anglican missionary to China from 1895 to 1903, and
spent much of the remainder of his life writing on missionary principles.
