In light of the reality of cultural and religious pluralism, Peter
Phan demonstrates that Christian mission can only be carried on
dialogically - especially among the poor and with deep respect for
other religious traditions and their cultures. In Our Own Tongues
is absolutely essential reading for anyone interested in the
emergence of "world christianity" and its future in the 21st
century.
Dialogue of Life is the inspiring testament of Bob McCahill, a
priest and missioner who for twenty years has pursued an unusual
witness among the Muslim poor of Bangladesh. Rather than
traditional pastoral work, McCahill simply tries to live as a
friend and brother to his Muslim neighbors, offering a positive
witness to the gospel ideals of service and love. In a series of
small towns he has lived a life of utter simplicity, serving the
sick, showing respect for Muslim piety, and explaining to all those
who inquire the reasons for his way of life and good works. In
simple yet vivid prose, Father McCahill describes his life, the
rhythms of his days and those of his poor but faith-filled
neighbors, the occasions for "interreligious dialogue" that emerge
out of this living encounter, and his challenging reflections on
the implications of this experience for Christian life and mission
in the world. Enhanced by McCahill's own prizewinning photographs,
Dialogue of Life is a moving example of spirituality in action, and
witness to "God who is larger than our hearts".
The World Is Desperate for What You Have As believers, we have
received unimaginable grace from the Father. Unfortunately, we
often separate our spiritual life from our everyday lives. We fail
to value the grace given to us, and we miss the opportunity to
bring heaven to earth. And then we wonder what light we can bring
to a world in deep darkness. With depth and insight, Dr. John
Jackson shows that grace distributed is the key to sweeping social
change, hope and revival. Through biblical teaching and prophetic
revelation, Dr. Jackson helps you partner with the Holy Spirit to
step into the fullness of all God has called you to be--and to
unleash the redemptive presence of Jesus in your home, workplace
and community. God wants to use you right now, right where you are.
It's time to become a heavenly ambassador that shares the grace
you've been given with a world aching for transformation. "In this
catalytic book lies an essential message for the Church today. I
highly recommend it."--KRIS VALLOTTON "This Spirit-filled and
deeply vulnerable book is a gift to us all. Don't miss
it!"--MARGARET FEINBERG "Discover your God-given abilities and use
them to usher the grace and love of Christ into the here and
now."--SAMUEL RODRIGUEZ
