Mission Matters by Tim Chester
The Father delights in his Son. This is the starting point of mission, its very core. 'Mission' means 'sending', but for centuries this was only used to describe what God did, sending his Son and his Spirit into the world. World mission exists because the Father wants people to delight in his Son, and the Son wants people to delight in the Father. Tim Chester introduces us to a cascade of love, flowing from the Father to the Son through the Spirit. And that love overflows and, through us, keeps on flowing to our Christian community, and beyond us to a very needy world. Mission matters. This book is for ordinary individuals willing to step out and become part of the most amazing, exciting venture in the history of the world, understanding its rich biblical context. This title is brought to you by Keswick Ministries as part of their wide range of resources.
I will be recommending this book very widely indeed-- Eddie Arthur * Former Executive Director of Wycliffe Bible Translators *
If you want to fire up your church with a vision for global mission, this is your book! It should carry a spiritual health warning. -- David Coffey OBE * Past President of the Baptist World Alliance *
Many are telling us that the day of global mission is over: the needs 'at home' are so overwhelming, and the dangers so great, that God cannot want us to go as he did in the past. But God does care, and he still wants us to care with his compassion for a world of need. I am sure this book will provoke many people to respond to the challenge, as they realize that there are still thousands waiting to be introduced to the Saviour who alone saves and cares. -- Helen Roseveare * Veteran missionary doctor, trainer, conference speaker and teacher, and author of several life-changing books *
