Little Book, Great Read

This book was an awesome presentation of our responibility in Advancing God's kingdom. McQuilken is great at choosing his words carefully for impact. It is a great book for anyone intersted in developing ministry leaders, especially for communicating God's heart for worldwide mission. Don't let the small size of the book minimize its impact-potential in your ministry.

Absolutely Excellent

This book is a must read for every believer! It is NOT out of print but is available through OM Literature, PO Box 1047, Waynesboro, GA 30830.

Why Christians should engage in Foreign Missions.

Dr. McQuilkin make a strong case for American Christians to get beyond selfishness and on to obedience of Christ's marching orders for His Church. Christ gave us the Great Commission five times after His resurrection. What was His priority for us before He returned to heaven? He told us five time in different words. We should understand by this that we are to "Go and Tell." But where should the church be going? We must go where the light is absent and where the area is darkest. When 90% of the workers focus on 5% of the people on the earth, it seems we are missing the mark of "every ethnic group" (ethnos) of the Great Commission in Mat. 28. We are not obeying Jesus. This book will help bring the priority of Missions into a clear perspective. Read this book and consider the Scriptures that it explains. The truth here will change your life.

Outstanding, easy to red

It's a real shame this is out of print. This is a must read for anyone interested or involved in missions. It is extremely well written and based on sound biblical principals and data. McQuilkin is a gifted communicator who really will challenge the reader. It is a short book, filled with great information.
