I love this series of the books, this is no exception. The author does an excellent job of discussing modern movements of missions without ripping them and bashing them. He mentions the good with the bad and then offers advice from both Scripture and experience on the mission field his own and that of pastors and missionaries around the world. His premise is that we should rely on the Holy Spirit and prayer, but that we should also prepare ourselves seriously to prepare ourselves. And if we are not first serving the local church, we should not go on missions elsewhere. Missions is not about numbers and urgency as much as it is about the patience and relationships needed to not only tell people about Jesus, but also to grow and thrive in their faith. The book is filled with inspiration, encouragement, and practical helps to do this from the local church to the mission field. It is an excellent reminder and a well written biblical perspective.

I like the subtitle A Manifesto for Modern Missions ''. The author starts the book with what he thinks is the cause for the short circuit of our mission's effectiveness. I like his argument against imposing a non-scripture means to justify a biblical end. The book is easy to read and understand and sounds with its position theologically. I like the content, but the design falls short. The big ideas '' in each chapter are not placed in dialogue boxes for a quick review later. The chapters are not written to help the reader's understanding. The book does, however, effectively use italicized to emphasize many important points.
