A Martyr's Grace

History & Biography

“"Cease striving and know that I am God's." A Martyr's Grace stops us in our tracks as we reflect on brothers and sisters in Christ who were called upon to give their all. Story after story draws the reader to consider afresh what God calls us to do, and what we as leaders are calling others into. The lives detailed here resonate with the rest of Psalm 46:10: "I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in all the earth." In the end, it is God who is calling and we don't know where that might lead. We do know that ultimately, it will end with him.”

Acts: Courageous Witness in a Hostile World

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Howard's vast experiences on the field and at all levels of leadership within and without his mission organization (SIM) have built the kind of foundation necessary to make this book possible--and most helpful. It is sprinkled with practical illustrations and applied in a clear, simple way. It covers core biblical issues that come into play as the church is birthed in new places like it was in Acts.”

All Creation Groans

Theology

“Ralph D. Winter never stopped trying to identify specific issues and problems that impede the flow of the gospel. . . . This book draws on like-minded scholars from a wide range of disciplines just as Winter would have. As you read this book, your perspective will be challenged in new ways. And perhaps we will see new approaches to solving the right problems.”

Teaching Across Cultures

Evangelism & Missions

“The depth and breadth of Plueddemann's experience and relationships is inspiring and instructive. The fact that it covers so many different contexts is a reflection of the deep commitment and faithfulness that, in turn, produced this helpful resource. Jim is not a mere teacher but instead is a humble, life-long learner, leader, and trainer. He brings the theory down to the ground—in context—in community. Added to that, at the end of each chapter there are voices from all over the globe. And Jim knows that he doesn't know everything . . . or much sometimes! But that is the power of his approach and this tool. This is a tool for trainers and learners. It was a joy to walk through this book, seeing his heart and the depth of his commitment to the subject over the long haul.”

The Ministry Multiplication Cycle

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The book is an easy-to-read resource that will help you catch a biblically guided process for reaching, mentoring, and multiplying Jesus-followers globally. Bill Jones will make you think, and rethink, your assumptions about Jesus—both the how and why he did what he did. He will give you tools you can use and pass on as you teach and train others. If you choose not to follow what’s here, I hope you have a better plan than this.”
