Identity Crisis

Evangelism & Missions

“Sarah Yoon is unafraid to address a question that most of us would prefer not to admit: why do so many from a Muslim background who profess faith in Christ appear to walk away from Jesus so quickly? Yoon's careful research and informative analysis among Jordanian women is very important for all involved in reaching Muslims, especially Muslim women. For those coming from a very different worldview, this book helps us understand the multiple layers to 'identity' that so firmly grip and provide meaning for Muslim women. We enter into the personal confusion and identity disruption that conversion brings. Without attempting to provide missiological solutions, the reader is challenged to develop approaches to discipleship that allow the new believer to integrate their past with their new identity 'in Christ.' I recommend this book to all who seriously want to see Muslim women become strong disciples of Jesus, able to bring transformation in their homes and communities.”

Standing with the Vulnerable

Discipleship & Christian Education

“We often feel the world's problems are so overwhelming and so distant to us that there is little we can contribute. In this great study, Dr. Gil Odendaal takes us on a journey into Scripture, into a needy world, and into our own hearts. We see that the principles we need for personal growth and transformation are the very same truths that enable us to be part of God's life-bringing mission. The material is easy to read, but don't be fooled; there is much here that draws on the best understanding of mission and development. Be transformed!”

The Barnabas Factor

Evangelism & Missions

“For over 200 years, we have modeled our approach to mission on the apostle Paul, the pioneer. With the remarkable growth of the global church, mission is increasingly centered on collaboration between the different participants. Collaboration calls for new modes of being. We are indebted to Josh Irby and his collaborators for this rich, stimulating, and timely exploration of Barnabas, a truly twenty-first-century church model for mission.”

The Lord of the Sabbath Opens His Book of Revelation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Perhaps you are convinced that Revelation is a very important part of scripture but have given up attempting to understand the book as a whole. It’s easy to be uplifted by passages of soaring prose and majestic description, but how to make sense of the book as a whole? Christopher Fung has done us a real service in this unusual and original book. He is convinced that Revelation is given to open up God’s purposes to us, not obscure them. His thesis is that the book is not a complex timetable for the end of history but an unveiling of the crucified and risen Jesus, the cosmic Lord of history. Drawing on his deep understanding of the themes of creation and sabbath, Fung demonstrates how God’s purposes are for the recreation and renewal of all creation. You may not agree with every exegetical comment but you will find the book refreshing, accessible and stimulating.”

Towards Global Missional Leadership

Evangelism & Missions

Foreword

Women in God's Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“There are so many books on leadership, but this is unique. Dr. Mary Lederleitner has done a tremendous service to the body of Christ globally through the careful research contained in this book. She has taken a contested issue and, through her irenic and incisive style, allowed us to hear the voices of women servant leaders from around the world. I imagine that there will be many 'ah ha' moments for women readers encouraged to know they are not alone. For men, it is not always comfortable reading, but it is insightful, rich, and potentially rewarding if we are willing to listen. I finished the book more convinced than ever that leadership is plural and that we need each other, men and women, if we are to draw on all the gifts God has given for the building up of his body and the extension of his kingdom.”
