The anthology of texts enriches our understanding of the depth and the meaning of being spiritual and the diversity of forms to live out the Christian faith. The issue today is how spirituality should direct and guide daily life as followers of Jesus in the engagement in the mission of God. No doubt that it has to do with our inner life and our relationship with God, but it is in showing our love and concern to others that we prove our love to God, according to the Apostle John (1 John 4).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMission without spirituality will only be a human effort to convince people of religious theories. Spirituality without a missionary involvement of the church will not express God’s desire that the transforming gospel reaches every person. This book will help you rethink your understanding of what is spiritual, revisit your own spiritual journey, and appreciate the different forms of spirituality as they are described and performed around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/DESCRIPTION] [SUBTITLE]Embracing the Lifelong Journey[\/SUBTITLE][CREDIT] John Amalraj (Editor), Geoffrey W.

Missionaries that I have known who left a mark in mission history were women and men that practiced regularly the spiritual disciplines of prayer and meditation of the Bible. The value of this new book, Spirituality in Mission, is how it explores and expounds its subject through personal testimony, reflection, and Bible exposition. The diversity of authors and subjects make it a milestone in missiological literature.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eJ.

In a day of hyperactivity, exhaustion, and ministry burn out, this resource—written by an amazing collection of global Christian leaders—provides the challenges andthe tools needed for long-term personal depth and ongoing organizational renewal.

They are working together to build God’s kingdom. As a result, they’re developing a broader vision and experience of what it means to be the body of Christ. Those of us on the journey like to reference Psalms 133—it is wonderful and pleasant when brothers and sisters live and work together in harmony! Harmony is precious and refreshing, resulting in God’s blessing. May your reading of this book give you new insight, blessing, and refreshment for your own journey.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eBob Creson \u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePresident\/CEO Wycliffe Bible Translators USA\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT3] [ENDORSEMENT4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eStarting with the phrase “the use of means,” William Carey inaugurated the modern missionary movement as fundamentally pragmatic. As we move into a new era of mission far more diverse and richer, we must infuse that pragmatism with the aroma of Christ in new ways. Spirituality in Mission does just that, offering perspectives on the spiritual journey that is not constrained by the task at hand. Be warned, though, that some essays will not paint a picture of spirituality that is void of reality. Rather, what emerges is an interior life of the Spirit that is both global and local, and enriching to all.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eDr. Ted Esler \u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePresident Missio Nexus\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT4] [ENDORSEMENT5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eComprehensive in content and often deeply convicting, this volume treats the topic of spirituality in missions from every conceivable angle.

It is filled with gems of wisdom, grace, and helps for the beginners, “wounded warriors,” and thriving missionaries. The future of missions depends on many more of God’s people successfully embracing it as a life-long journey. Such an endeavor is usually too much forindividual missionaries without a caring and understanding missional community behind them. Together, we will have the needed spirituality to embrace it life-long and to finish strong and well.
