Rediscovering the role God designed for the church in mission is a
critical issue facing the missions movement today. That role is to
glorify God by planting churches among every tongue, tribe, and
nation. Planting churches amid unreached peoples is a complex
process. It calls forth every ministry gift and the contribution of
every believer. Imagine a businessman, a construction worker, a
schoolteacher, and an engineer all working together to support the
development of a local church amongst an unreached people group in
another part of the world. Most Christians will not leave home and
go elsewhere to minister. If they are to participate in God's
global mission, they must be affirmed, developed and released right
where they live, in the context of their local church. This book
shows how churches can become centers of mission vision and
implementation and so accomplish God's design for the local church.
Legendary preacher, author and scholar G. Campbell Morgan teaches
the reader the methods, mindset and theology of prayer, that
readers may become closer to God. The Practice of Prayer is a
superb handbook for Christians wishing to make the most of their
time at prayer, and to use prayer as a vehicle through which to get
closer to God. The chapters of this book consider the practice of
prayer through a theological lens; examining scripture, Morgan
reaches informed conclusions to as how we should pray. Principally,
Morgan identifies Jesus Christ as a figure of importance in
developing prayer as a tradition. The instructions Jesus dispensed
are filled with depth and meaning, and it is this that Morgan
efforts to explain for readers. Additionally, Morgan draws upon
additional books of the New Testament, such as Thessalonians, to
properly express and imbue his points and instructions.
