Emplacing Globalisation

Evangelism & Missions

“For several years, the language of glocal has been with the Church. Our age has written a recipe where global and local realities mix to produce numerous bridges and barriers for gospel advancement. While much missiological attention has been given to understanding local realities – and rightly so – for contextualization, globalization’s effect on the local often receives little recognition. John Cheong and Jonathan Ro have produced a well-researched, scholarly treatise drawing our attentions toward the relationship of globalization and contextualization. Emplacing Globalization takes readers on a journey that helps them recognize the influences of social and cultural dynamics in our globalized world with a view toward understanding and stewarding well the local bridges while overcoming barriers.”

Hope for the Afflicted

Evangelism & Missions

“We live in the age of the refugee, surrounded by massive numbers of peoples on the move—peoples with a diverse array of needs, hurts, concerns, fears, and hopes. No one ministry method is effective at reaching everyone. Jairo de Oliveira has provided the church a glimpse into one of the neediest refugee populations. Hope for the Afflicted offers cutting-edge study and specific ministry guidance for those serving among asylum seekers and refugees.”

Pray for the World

Evangelism & Missions

“The advancement of the gospel is always to be coupled by desperate prayer. Whether we are told to pray for laborers, for open doors for ministry or that the Word would spread rapidly and be honored, the Bible is clear: when it comes to kingdom expansion, prayer is crucial. Pray for the World is a valuable tool to assist us in global disciple making. Incredibly informative, well-written, easy-to-understand and to-the-point, this book is a helpful guide as we work to carry out the Great Commission. Read it, keep it close by, and pray, pray, pray!”

Reaching the Unreached

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Reaching the Unreached. Filled with numerous stories, humor, and wisdom, Jones’s book is a raw look at what we are all called to do, but few do: make disciples. Read and heed!”

Seeking Refuge

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Seeking Refuge is the best work to date when it comes to understanding present realities, global challenges, and practical responses to refugees in light of our kingdom citizenship. Filled with numerous stories and easy-to-understand explanations of technical matters, Bauman, Soerens, and Smeir have provided the church with a call to action and excellent assistance along the way. If you are looking for a one-stop shop to be informed, challenged, and led, then you have found it here!”

Spurgeon’s Theology for Multiplying Disciples and Churches

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Books abound on Spurgeon, so some may wonder if anything new may be said. Rod Earls has provided the church with an important study on the man’s beliefs and leadership skills that resulted in disciples made, leaders developed, and churches planted. At a time when evangelicals are asking questions about the multiplication of disciples, leaders, and churches, this book arrives at a timely moment!”

Tentmaking

Evangelism & Missions

“Misunderstanding abounds when it comes to tentmaking. Definitions are legion, and practices are sometimes so diverse they are unhelpful for kingdom advancement. Kruger has written a comprehensive treatment on the topic and must not be ignored. Pay attention here! This book challenges and provokes as it encourages and exhorts. The author draws his definition of tentmaking from the Scriptures and makes a strong argument that such was a missionary method for didactic and evangelistic purposes. Kruger begins in the word and concludes in the world by moving us to the practical. May we learn from this work, adjust present realities, and apply such truths to the field! The kingdom would benefit greatly!”

That They Might Seek Him

Evangelism & Missions

“The field of diaspora missiology is both a recent and rapidly developing discipline. Introductory works are important for proper understanding. Kern has done a great service by providing the church a scholarly, yet practical, introduction to migration ministry. Readers will understand global realities and be challenged with practicable directives. The Divine Maestro orchestrates the movement of the nations That They Might Seek Him, and Kern calls for our response!”

The Ministry Multiplication Cycle

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Several books have been published on the topic of multiplication over the past few years. It is trendy to write about this topic. You may even be feeling multiplication-fatigue. However, before writing off this matter and moving on: Stop! Read this book! In a unique way, Jones takes readers on a journey to understand biblical principles and consider contextualized practices related to multiplication strategy. The ministry multiplication cycle advocated here is simple, solid, and highly reproducible among the peoples of this world. As a mission leader, Jones develops this material from a quarter-of-a-century of experience in forty countries and among seventy unreached people groups. He knows what he is talking about! We would be wise to listen and learn!”

We Evangelicals and Our Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“At a time when everything is considered missions, even if the gospel is never shared, this book serves to remind and refocus the reader on the Great Commission task. Hesselgrave and Davis have done a noble work describing the relationship between present activity and history and belief. If you want a summary of where evangelicals have been, and potentially where we are going, read this book!”
