Brad in Michigan asks, \u201cWhat book do you recommend to a church when they need a short general intro to missions? Who writes this stuff in a really good way?\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure how to answer, though I have some ideas. What are your thoughts? Let\u2019s make a list together.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What timeless classics or gems of today would you commend to Brad?<\/li>\n
  2. If you bought one book by the caseload to give out wide and far, what would it be?<\/li>\n
  3. What would you give to your elders, pastors, or mission team?<\/li>\n
  4. Is there one that would make a good gift for your church\u2019s graduating high school or college seniors this spring?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s probably best if these books are not too long, academic, or narrow in focus. Books can\u2019t accomplish their mission if people don\u2019t read them.<\/p>\n

    \u00bb Suggest a book<\/a> (or second someone else\u2019s suggestion) and tell us why you appreciate it. I\u2019ll compile a short list to share in a future issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
