African Literacies and Western Oralities?
Evangelism & Missions
“The modern-day Orality Movement (OM), claims Coppedge, inadvertently transfers Western proclivities. He then masterfully peels back layers of the onion that sometimes bring tears to the Majority World, in this case, Ugandans. While seeking a script/print world identity that adds social and material value to their lives, they find themselves under the tutelage of regressive oral champions. African Literacies and Western Oralities? offers constructive criticism to the renascent OM in this well-researched read. Timely.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Written from a lifetime of teaching and practice, Arthur Glasser’s Announcing the Kingdom tackles three theological deficiencies in Christendom: the role of the Kingdom of God, the missional nature of Scripture, and the integrative character of the sacred storybook from Genesis to Revelation. Conveyed through humble and honest scholarship, this welcome text tracks the unfolding revelation of the triumphant Kingdom of God that demands a call to conversion of all peoples.”
Evangelism & Missions
“J. D. Payne strategically shows how sustainable and sanctified apostolic church planting (churches birthed from disciple making) is actually simple, and he skillfully does so without being simplistic.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Devoted to Christ honors a distinguished professor and administrator who teaches a central principle he lives daily. That practiced principle is that, in God's economy, shared power results in multiplied power.”
Effective Intercultural Evangelism
Evangelism & Missions
“If you are looking for a book that moves beyond making evangelism a closed salvific sale to encouraging an ongoing conversation that leads to lifelong transformation, if you are looking for a book that moves beyond the legal models of guilt and justice to other perspectives just as weighty, if you are looking for a book that addresses holistic evangelism from a pluralistic perspective, then I recommend you take a look at Effective Intercultural Evangelism. Passionate. Practical. Personal. Promising.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Escrito a partir de toda una vida de enseñanza y de práctica, El Anuncio Del Reino de Arthur Glasser aborda tres deficiencias teológicas en la cristiandad: el papel del reino de Dios, la naturaleza misional de las Escrituras y el carácter integrador del libro sagrado.”
Evangelism & Missions
“It is time for some creative correctives to some practices in present church-planting movements, and encouragement as well. Wilson’s work does both. We need a book like this.”
Evangelism in a Skeptical World
Evangelism & Missions
“This book provides readers a comprehensive theological overview of evangelism, challenges outdated high-profile models, and offers new models centered in Scripture and applicable to multiple contexts. A masterful contribution.”
Followership Development and Enactment among the Acholi of Uganda
Work, Money & Leadership
“David Ofumbi courageously challenges the often assumed ‘Great Divide’ between leadership and followership through an insightful case study about the Acholi and the government. Timely and timeless.”
Evangelism & Missions
“With over fifty years of international church-planting experience between the authors, readers would expect to find in Ott and Wilson's book an excellent grasp of the literature, some new models and strategies created out of research and their vast ministry experiences, practical ways to apply these strategies, and case studies to demonstrate them. This is exactly what you will get in Global Church Planting.”
God’s Image and Global Cultures
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“[This book] will take you down roads all have traveled, but few have sufficiently thought through the specifics. What is your theology of culture? How extensive and pervasive is it? Nehrbass will guide you through this foundational life-maze with clarity and comprehensiveness.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Long overdue, Sandy's latest contribution reminds digital natives around the globe of the 'big forgot' in relation to canon construction, interpretation, and communication—its original oral nature. The Bible's relational, experiential-based text, Sandy correctly concludes, requires an oral hermeneutic. Such will offer 'hearers' a richer, more robust understanding of Scripture without devaluing the inspired text. Timely, thorough, trustworthy.”
Evangelism & Missions
“No one is better qualified to tackle the thorny challenges of cross-cultural leadership than Sherwood Lingenfelter. Forged out of Dr. Lingenfelter's lifetime of experience in the field, in the classroom and educational administration, and in global consulting, Leading Cross-Culturally brings together a rare blend of anthropology, leadership theory, and theology that calls cross-cultural team members into covenant relationships centered on Christ and the cross. This is practical missiology at its best.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Peoples on the Move offers pastors, church planters, and missionaries a short-term ethnographic research tool that initiates the comprehension of the culture(s) in a community. The beauty of this introductory book is its simplicity in discovering worldview themes without sacrificing foundational theoretical substance or ignoring building community relationships. Enhanced ministry models result.”
Steps toward a Tibetan Understanding of Purity
World Religions
“Jim Morrison takes us beyond Eugene Nida’s ‘guilt, fear, and shame’ to include hygienic language—purity/pollution. Often minimized in missions considering its prominence in Scripture and major religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, First Nations), this well-researched book fills the gap in the religious realm. Thorough, trustworthy, timely.”
The Gap Between God and Christianity
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Because all ministry is intercultural, The Gap Between God and Christianity has a foundational and fundamental message for all Christian workers at home and abroad: know first who you are. Why? So that you don’t superimpose your culture on the Bible cultures or the host culture. Forged out of the crucible of cross-cultural ministry in numerous cultures, the reader can expect to find informed ways to make God be God. Don’t overlook this jewel.”
The Ministry Multiplication Cycle
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Vintage Bill Jones. Birthed out of the crucible of ministry and biblical studies, Bill offers Gospels-based principles practiced in Acts that work globally when adapted culturally. There’s nothing like learning from a self-reflective veteran with a servant’s heart. A great read on church multiplication!”
