Re-Imagining Short-Term Missions<\/em>, edited Angel Burns and Forrest Inslee, Wipf and Stock, 2022. 301 pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given the diversity of endeavors under the term short-term missions umbrella, it\u2019s hard to find an easier target in the mission world to critique. But many of us have some horror stories to tell from our own experience or that of those we know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What about you? Ready to think deeply as you relaunch efforts halted by the pandemic? This hard-hitting but ultimately constructive book may be for you. It includes almost two dozen essays written by 40 global contributors. Chapters are grouped around core values they promote: mutuality and unity, humility and repentance, curiosity and teachability, and creativity and contextualization. It includes lots of stories of mission done well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how the publisher describes the book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis book is for those who suspect that current practices of short-term missions are in need of serious reform. It is a book for those who recognize that, in this decade of global upheaval\u2014and in light of the cultural, political, and demographic shifts affecting churches everywhere\u2014now is the time for change. The essays here are intended to equip and inspire any who want to advocate for change but may not yet know what change looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit the publisher\u2019s website<\/a>.
