Here are a couple of titles from our parent ministry, Pioneers. They may interest many of you. Both will be released next week (December 1) but can be pre-ordered now.<\/p>\n

1. A Sequel to When Everything Is Missions<\/em><\/h4>\n

\"Convos<\/h4>\n

Conversations on When Everything Is Missions: Recovering the Mission of the Church<\/a>, edited by Denny Spitters and Matthew Ellison. BottomLine Media, 2020. 146 pages.<\/p>\n

In their previous book, When Everything Is Missions<\/a>, Denny Spitters and Matthew Ellison raised seven questions that shape how we think about and carry out the global mission of the Church and called readers to refocus their gaze on the gospel and the Great Commission.<\/p>\n

Conversations on When Everything Is Missions<\/em> adds the voices of mission leaders J. D. Payne, Ted Esler, Jeff Jackson, Gary Corwin, Pam Arlund, James Mason, Jean Johnson, Jeff Lewis, Steve Beirn, David Platt, Mark Vowels, Dick Brogden, Ed Stetzer, and others. They write on the same theme but from different angles. Some chapters were previously published in the November\/December 2019 edition of Mission Frontiers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00bb Preorder the Kindle edition (available December 1) for US$4.99<\/a> or paperback for US$9.99 from Amazon or elsewhere. Missio Nexus member? You might want to catch a webinar with Spitters and Ellison on December 2 (see events calendar, below).<\/p>\n

\u00bb For a different look at tensions between mission priorities and how to navigate them in a local church context, see Sharon Hoover\u2019s excellent 2018 book Mapping Church Missions: A Compass for Ministry Strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. An Adaptation of Peace Child<\/em><\/h4>\n

\"TreacheryTreachery on the Twisted River<\/a>, by Don Richardson, adapted by Karen Robertson, BottomLine Media, 2020. 180 pages.<\/p>\n

This book is a young-adult adaption of the late Don Richardson\u2019s 1974 bestseller Peace Child<\/em>. Both describe the early years of his family\u2019s ministry among a tribe of headhunters and cannibals in New Guinea in the 1960s. After more than 50 years, perhaps it\u2019s no spoiler to tell you many of them become followers of Jesus and saw their community transformed (a story revisited in the documentary Never the Same<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Treachery on the Twisted River<\/em> was condensed and adapted by a teacher who wanted a version of the story to share with her students. It simplifies the language and removes some of the description and context for a younger and\/or less patient audience. There\u2019s too much violence and intensity for young\/sensitive children; that\u2019s intrinsic to the story. But this is certainly an easier read for today\u2019s teens (and adults) than Peace Child<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u00bb Preorder the Kindle edition (available December 1) for US$5.99<\/a> or the paperback for US$13.99 from Amazon or elsewhere. It might make a good Christmas gift for someone on your list.The Pioneers bookstore<\/a> also has related titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
