“In every generation, we need to understand our times, as the men of Issachar understood theirs. Onlythrough the dedicated hard work of studying Scripture and studying the world around us will we, like those men from Issachar, 'know what to do.' John Stott loved to remind us that Christ gave gifts to the church to share. He referred to The LausanneMovement rather beautifully as 'an exchange of gifts.' We offer this book as a gift from the church onall continents to the church in your nation. May it be a means of enriching one another in our grasp of Scripture and in our love of Christ.”
