Fantastic Classic on Christian Mission
It's hard to believe that Stott wrote this book in 1976, yet, I read it in 1999 for a Christian Mission class, and it seems so appropriate today. Dr. Stott was on the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelism, and has obviously thought about these and researched this deeply. He comes from an Evangelical Protestant heritage. This is a particularly insighted book, an introduction to Christian ...

The Call to Joy and Pain: Embracing Suffering in Your Ministry
Did you ever ask a question wondering why a loving God allows so many seemingly bad things to happen to us? The title of this book made me curious about how we could embrace suffering. All of us at one time or another, usually during a troubled time in our lives, have asked that question. This book proves that there is a wise God in control of all things, who knows the end from the begining. ...

Inspiring study of the Gospel of Mark.
Ajith Fernando is a native of Sri Lanka and a prolific writer on biblical, apologetic, and cultural themes. Like John Stott, his books are usually organized around the exposition of biblical texts. For example, his excellent work, "Sharing the Truth in Love: How to Relate to People of Other Faiths" (Discovering House Publishers, 2001), follows the structure of Paul's great address to the ...

He effectively demonstrates the weaknesses of Western Culture as well as its strengths and how Christians sometimes confuse the issues of truth and tolerance. Further, he shows how respecting another's religion and customs, without compromising one's faith, gains greater ...

From the persepctive of the Mission Field
Ajith Frenando's commentary immediately struck me as arising from the persepctive of one working every day in the Mission Field. He clearly understands that Acts witnesses to the power of the Spirit who equip God's people for witness and service. One can easily see that the author believes in the gifts of the Spirit and the fact that these did not disappear with the Apostolic age. Fernando's ...
Reclaiming Friendship: Relating to Each Other in a Frenzied World

Dreadfully needed in our shallow world
This book has influenced my life in the last six years more than any other book, and I feel that effect is still hardly adequate an endorsement. Put simply, I know of no better advice on friendship, or on relationships in general. Fernando teaches you how to change your perceptions of people, of time, and of God. Reclaiming Friendship is a small book, and it should be on your short list of ...
The Fullness of Christ
Ajith Fernando
Authentic
, 2007
Just what is available to the believer in Christ? According to Ajith Fernando blessings, identity, grace and peace, and the resurrection power of Christ. In this wonderful book, Fernando brings to life the first chapter of Pauls letter to the Ephesians, showing what is ours by faith, how God took the initiative in granting us salvation, and what our response should be. If you have ever wanted to get to grips with Ephesians, this is the place to ...

A book on leadership by a proven leader
A book of passion and practicality, Leadership Lifestyle examines the book of 1 Timothy from the perspective of discipleship and leadership development.

The Christian's Attitude Toward World Religions

Well presented, but...well researched....?
This book was written by a Shingalese Christian leader of Youth for Christ, who spent his life ministering to people of other faiths. The book is an apology for Christian exclusivism. Using the text of Paul's speech at the Aeropagus (Acts 17:1-34), Fernando argues that Christians ought to refrain from mere proselytizing, but rather try to persuade others in a gentle, yet firm manner. He is ...
Un llamado, gozo y sufrimiento: Lo que todo líder debe saber sobre servicio y dedicación
Ajith Fernando
Tyndale Espanol
, 2009
For the Christian, joy and pain are both integral parts of a life of service to God. This truth is clearly taught in the Bible and proved in Christian experience, both individual and corporate. The life of the churches outside the comfortable West reveals it with special clarity. The Call to Joy and Pain explores the connection between rejoicing and suffering and shows how our distress draws us nearer to God and makes us more effective in ...

A practical and useful study guide.
Ajith Fernando has a knack for making the Bible come alive through different examples and personal challenges. Here, he uses the character of Daniel, a man highly successful through many changes of political leadership, to illustrate how God uses people who are faithful to him. The true gem of this book is that it makes the book of Daniel applicable in very concrete ways in current times.

Evangelically minded, solidly biblical view about hell.
Hell is not a fashionable place to talk about these days in evangelical Christian circles, but Jesus warned that more people were heading there than not (Matthew 7:13-14). Ajith Fernando, a native-born Sri Lankan evangelist, provides answers to the crucial questions Hell, citing every pertinent Bible verse from the new testament, and many from the old. He explains how Jesus and the prophets spoke ...
