Emerging Gospel Movements

Evangelism & Missions

“Emerging Gospel Movements is likely to become the standard text in American seminaries for understanding contemporary gospel movements and the role that Westerners can play in contributing to such movements. Based on twenty years of observing dozens of developing gospel movements throughout the world, Wilson concludes that both national leaders and the catalysts who come beside them have important roles to play.”

Engaging Neighbors and Nations

Evangelism & Missions

“Tim Silberman has conducted very credible research demonstrating the importance of maintaining and nurturing relationships between overseas cross-cultural missionaries and members of local supporting churches. These relationships are essential for the continued support of overseas missionaries and for motivating local outreach and evangelism done by church members. Without these relationships, cross-cultural missions will eventually die out, and local missions may face the same fate.”

Rise of French Laïcité

History & Biography

“This is an excellent and insightful summary of the history of laïcité in France since the Reformation. I strongly recommend it for missionaries in their second to fourth year in France. . . . This book will help them understand the French values and how to better share the gospel in light of these values.”

Small Wars

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Darrell Puls has many decades of experience helping churches heal from conflict. Small Wars is an excellent guidebook for those who want to be peacemakers. It is filled with detailed strategies and approaches for different contexts. Puls doesn’t provide a one-size-fits-all formula—church conflicts are too complicated for that. Rather, he offers a range of ideas that are likely to work in different contexts.”

The Secret Lives of Tentmakers

Evangelism & Missions

“A. G. Smith has conducted a beautiful study of the difficulties that tent-making missionaries in restricted-access nations face concerning their identity. Her analysis and insights should be required reading for all who are preparing to work in these countries and for all those who support such workers.”

What Gen Z Really Wants to Know About God

Children & Youth

“I have been familiar with Tanita Tualla Maddox's academic work for several years. I am very encouraged to see that it is now more broadly available. It will generate many ideas among those who desire to understand and minister to Gen Z.”
