Pressure Points: Twelve Global Issues Shaping the Face of the Church, by J.D. Payne. Thomas Nelson: 2013. 194 pages.
Pastor, professor, and author J.D. Payne’s new book explores twelve of the most significant global issues facing the church in our day. “This message is not intended to cause fear or fill the Church with a sense of depression and gloom,” says Payne. “While each of today’s critical issues poses numerous challenges to the advancement of the gospel, I write this work with a positive tone, believing that some of the greatest days for Kingdom advancement are still to come.”
