Apostolic Church Planting

Evangelism & Missions

“Apostolic Church Planting is less like a how-to manual and more like a clinician's guidebook. It deals with the theology and theory of church planting as well as the practical steps involved. Few missiologists could have written it, but J. D. Payne is one of them. All who are in any way involved in church planting should study this book to be informed. All should read it to be refreshed.”

Being the Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The church is much, much more than it appears to be to the world. It is even much more than it usually perceives itself to be. Like many if not most of Dr. Rommen’s writings, this book is magnificent. One need not be a member of the Orthodox Church to revel in it.”

Crossing Cultures in Scripture

Evangelism & Missions

“Another book on culture and mission? Yes, but not just another. From the late nineteenth century onward, more and more ethnologists and anthropologists have been focusing on the relationship between human culture and Christian mission. However, far and away the primary emphasis has been on the contribution that studies of culture make to effective missionizing. Now, out of his intensive study of the Bible and extensive crosscultural experience, missiologist Marvin Newell has provided another perspective: the place of culture in biblical history and theology. Christian missionaries of course, but also all globally minded Christians, should read this book. It's a breath of fresh air!”

Culture and Biblical Hermeneutics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“An avalanche of proposals for interpreting and applying Scripture has resulted as many Westerners have been breaking out of their monocultural cocoon. Larkin does a masterful job of aiding us in understanding and evaluating these proposals and in forwarding the use of those that are biblical and worthy.”

Foreword

Dispatches from the Front

Christian Living

“This book is intriguing, well-written, and culturally informative, and it introduces us to fellow-believers who otherwise would remain unknown. Read it for those reasons. But read it first and foremost because it reveals anew the first-century Christ, who is now remaking diverse people of this twenty-first century into the elite citizens of his everlasting kingdom.”

Global Church Planting

Evangelism & Missions

“A church planting text that is at once well researched, well written, amazingly comprehensive, and decidedly practical. Mission CEOs, seminary and college professors, practitioners at home and overseas--anyone and everyone committed to church-planting mission--should make sure that they have ready access to Global Church Planting.”
