By Bryant L. Myers, World Vision Resources, 2003, 96 pages, also on CD-ROM. Author of the best-selling books The Changing Shape of World Mission and The New Context of World Mission, Myers draws on the most current resources available, including the latest editions of Operation World and World Christian Encyclopedia, to bring you the most meaningful picture of where mission is heading in the next century and why.
