Crossing Cultures

Evangelism & Missions

“Stephen Davis is no stranger to the challenges and difficulties of cross-cultural gospel ministry. He writes as an experienced missionary and church-man who aims to equip churches, mission agencies, and missionaries to better serve cross-culturally. My heart resonates with Davis’s that the goal of missions is not mainly to do good works but preach the gospel and establish new communities that demonstrate the transforming power of God’s presence. With such a high goal, missionaries need to be properly trained, and Davis is a worthy guide on the matter and the manner of such training.”

Divine Blessing and the Fullness of Life in the Presence of God

Theology

“We live in an age when the church is being threatened by the destructive teachings of the prosperity gospel, which emphasizes health, wealth, and might in the present. We can be tempted to swing the pendulum to the other extreme by completely rejecting any material blessing as divine. There are some who even bemoan the biblical term ‘blessing’ because they now associate it with the prosperity gospel. Osborne guards us from this extreme by serving us a rich biblical-theological meal. He traces the theme of blessing throughout Scripture and he rightly argues that God’s blessings are relational, spiritual, material, present, and future. Enlarge your understanding of the infinitely vast blessings God has lavished on his people by reading this short treasure.”

Planting by Pastoring

Christian Living

“If you want to ‘pastor-plant’ a church that can be explained only in terms of the power of the gospel at work, and if you want to plant a church that takes New Testament ecclesiology to heart, this book is for you. Knight takes us down ancient paths and shows how they lead to healthy church growth. His advice may not be what you want, but it is certainly what you need as a church-pastoring church planter. The path is hard, but it will produce a church that can endure hardship; it may be laborious, but it is the surest way to plant. It may be painful, but it will result in a healthy, strong church that presents and protects the gospel. Read this book, preach the gospel, love God’s people, rest in faith, and watch the Lord of the church do his work.”
