A pastor's frank advice for Christians who want to bring the gospel
to their neighbors. Gold Medal Winner, 2016 Illumination Book Award
in ministry/mission, Independent Publishers How can Christians
represent the love of Christ to their neighbors (let alone people
in foreign countries) in an age when Christianity has earned a bad
name from centuries of intolerance and cultural imperialism? Is it
enough to love and serve them? Can you win their trust without
becoming one of them? Can you be a missional Christian without a
church? This provocative book, based on a recently uncovered
collection of 100-year-old letters from a famous pastor to his
nephew, a missionary in China, will upend pretty much everyone's
assumptions about what it means to give witness to Christ.
Blumhardt challenges us to find something of God in every person,
to befriend people and lead them to faith without expecting them to
become like us, and to discover where Christ is already at work in
the world. This is truly good news: No one on the planet is outside
the love of God. At a time when Christian mission has too often
been reduced to social work or proselytism, this book invites us to
reclaim the heart of Jesus' great commission, quietly but
confidently incarnating the love of Christ and trusting him to do
the rest.
