Description
Contributors including David Platt, Louie Giglio, and John Piper join forces to compel Christians to cross cultural and linguistic barriers to reach the unengaged and unreached people groups with the gospel.
"Finish the Mission issues a clarion reminder of God's enduring passion to glorify himself by blessing all nations on earth. The gospel and mission are inseparable. A clear understanding of the mission of the church is absolutely essential in today's fast-changing global environment." -Steve Richardson, President, Pioneers-USA "What will it take to finish the mission? Gospel seed must fall into the ground and die. Lord Jesus, through these heart-exposing pages, would you thrust out thousands of risk-taking disciples to the ends of the earth? May this compelling admonition jolt the church out of complacency and into the gathering of your sheep from among the earth's peoples." -David Sitton, President, To Every Tribe; author, Reckless Abandon and To Every Tribe with Jesus "God defines marriage and God defines mission. Finish the Mission is a vital proclamation of an emphasis that even evangelicals dodge-mostly out of embarrassment. Putting God's opinions above all others, the authors portray well God's rescue operation to the peoples who still have no friend to help them comprehend the Easter story. As John Piper says, 'We're concerned for all suffering, but especially eternal suffering.' Serious disciples will take these declarations seriously." -Greg Livingstone, Founder, Frontiers; Coordinator, Ministries to Muslims, Evangelical Presbyterian Church
