Biblical Theology

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I love biblical theology, but I don’t always love biblical theology books. Too often, they are so technically written that they miss the majority of believers. This book is an exception. The authors not only define, defend, and describe biblical theology but also do so in a way that is accessible to all believers. This book is simple while addressing complex ideas, short but packed with information, and theoretical yet filled with practical examples of doing biblical theology. It is both a call to do biblical theology and a handbook for doing it well. I finished it with a deeper desire to see Jesus in the Word and to help my church members do the same.”

Cross-Cultural Missional Partnership

Evangelism & Missions

“I am convinced we must partner with other believers around the world if we want to reach the nations. Joshua Bowman, a missionary scholar with a heart for the nations, helps us recognize and address tensions inherent within these partnerships so they might function best in fulfilling the Great Commission. Whether you are forming partnerships around the world or within our increasingly diverse context of North America, you will find the insights and principles in this book helpful.”

Encountering the History of Missions

History & Biography

“The authors have done what might seem to be impossible: telling the story of centuries of missions history while holding the reader's attention through biographical portraits, relevant sidebars, and challenging case studies. I finished this book asking God to allow me to play a role, even a minor one, in the continuing story of missions history. Somehow, I think the authors would be pleased.”

Finding Direction to Redeem the Nations

Evangelism & Missions

“It is not often we have the opportunity to read the insights of a veteran missionary who served in several frontline and leadership positions on the field, followed by service as a seminary missions professor. You may not agree with everything in this book, but read it with an open mind. Be ready to learn from a practitioner/professor whose global experiences may be different from yours. Consider his every suggestion for doing the Great Commission more effectively. You cannot read this work without turning your eyes to the nations.”

Love Lost for the Cause of Christ

Evangelism & Missions

“Will and I talked about this book long before he wrote it, and I knew its contents before I read it. Consequently, I was caught off guard not only by how much this book taught me, but even more by how much this book moved me. I’ve lost sleep asking how I might follow in the steps of Will’s missionary heroes to evangelize the nations. Be warned: this simple book will challenge you.”

Peoples and Places

Evangelism & Missions

“Matthew Hirt has written a needed book that reminds us that our Great Commission calling is to reach people who live in a place. Through thorough research, he concludes that missions strategists must give attention to contextual geography when seeking to reach a people. He stretched my thinking, and I suspect he will stretch yours as well. For the sake of the nations and the next generations we send to reach them, read this book.”

Peoples on the Move

Evangelism & Missions

“This book is concise but thorough, practical yet convicting, strategic while still simple. I recommend it not only to missionaries, but also to local church pastors and leaders who need to know their community better.”
