A Non-Anxious Presence

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Mark Sayers is like an Old Testament seer. With spiritual eyes he sees the liminal moment we find ourselves in. Times of transition between eras are complex, uncertain, and full of anxiety. Yet Sayers reveals how they are also pregnant with renewal. He calls us to be a non-anxious presence in and for the world, to emulate the patient ferment of the early church, which saw rapid growth in testing times. As a student of different cultures around the world, Mark Sayers has done the unimaginable, capturing the zeitgeist in a way that is as relevant to Asia as it is to the West. In a time of confusion, this book is a spiritual map to chart a way forward into a better tomorrow.”

Strange Kingdom

Christian Living

“My friend and mentor, Ken Costa, understands the human heart and the work of the cross in a way that transcends culture and is as relevant here in Asia as it is in the West. Not since John Stott’s The Cross of Christ have I read a book on the saving work of Jesus that I want to return to again and again as much as this one.”
