James A. Michener

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002

Impressive
I've never read Michener's work before, but this book left me awed with his knowledge of history and storytelling ability. The book begins with a brief section on the formation of the islands, then plunges into a novella (100 pages) about the arrival of the original Polynesian settlers. After that, it jumps forward again to the 1820s and the arrival of the New England missionaries. After this ...

Introducing the Missional Church: What It Is, Why It Matters, How to Become One (Allelon Missional Series)

2 reviews
Alan Roxburgh, M. Boren

Baker Books, 2009

Very thorough and readable
One wonders, with all that has been written over the past decade on the missional church through books, blogs, websites, and articles - can anything new truly be added to the missional conversation? After reading through, Introducing the Missional Church by Roxburgh and Boren, the answer is clearly yes. They resist the temptation to define the missional church with simplicity, precision and ...

Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret (Moody Classics)

Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor

Moody Publishers, 2009

A BOOK TO ENCOURAGE HEART-SEARCHING
This book has helped to change my life. It is neatly and gently written, and seems to convey a part of Hudson Taylor's own gentleness with it. No Christian library can be complete without it. It is a book you read over every so often, in an attempt to spur you towards reaching what Hudson Taylor called 'the exchanged life'. Next to the Bible, this is one of about five books that has radically ...

I LOVE TO COME AWAY FROM A BOOK FEELING I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING, NOT JUST ENTERTAINMENT.
I don't know where to begin. There was so much beauty, education and it was a testament to the human spirit! It was breathtaking in every way, the background story, the history is cleverly woven into the storyline without slowing down the pace of the plot. The dramatic events take the story in a new direction and the reader is hooked! This is charming with its engaging dialogue, great ...

Missionary No More: Purple Panties 2

15 reviews
Zane

Strebor Books, 2009

Another great anthology from Zane.
Purple Panties takes on some girl on girl action in the more bi-curious stand point. The stories are very adventuresome and really do pique the imagination. However, I would not recommend this one to the squeamish or faint of heart. This is real sex done by real women and it's quite graphic, which I liked. I thought it was refreshing to see such erotica on the market today, for those of us who ...

God's Smugger
I read this book years ago when it first came out & am so glad it is still in print. It is highly readable and amazing to see what Brother Andrew did for Christians in Communist countries. Persecution is still going on in Communist countries! Reading God's Smugger will help you to know the great need of prayer for those who are not free to wroship the Lord Jesus Christ. And be aware of the our ...

great book
This is a great book. My kids are reading this and they love it. They dont really like to read, but are eager to pick up this book. God used a young man who was willing to follow Him to reach a people who were looking for God.

Brazos Press, 2007

The Forgotten Ways: Thoughtful
Title: The Forgotten Ways: Reactivating the Missional Church by Alan Hirsch. Pages: 295. Time spent on the "to read" shelf: None. Days spent reading it: 4 months. Why I read it: My previous District Superintendent suggested reading it when I asked what books he was reading that he would recommend. I'll take Gordon's word on a book any day. So I decided to read it. Brief review: ...

Tracy Kidder

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2009

Dr. Paul Farmer, the Mother Teresa of Medicine
What an excellent reminder that The Only Real Nation is Humanity. Through this writing, author Tracy Kidder introduced me to Dr. Paul Farmer, who co-founded Partners-in-Health ([...]), an organization I now proudly support for their medical/humanitarian work in Haiti and elsewhere. Dr. Paul Farmer puts the 'care' in the medical care model. The feats he goes through just to get to his patients and ...

A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael

Elisabeth Elliot

Revell, 2005

Life changing message
I have read this book twice over the last decade and each time it has given me life principles applicable to the time of life in which I read it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs an example to live by. I couldn't help but think that if God could do such things in Amy Carmichael, He could certainly do the same in me. What a challenge!

Into Africa: The Epic Adventures of Stanley and Livingstone

Martin Dugard

Broadway, 2004

This can't be "history"! It was WAY too exciting!
History, of course, can be endlessly fascinating. But one need not canvas very many bored students of history to find that it can also be endlessly dreary and soporific. The reason for this is quite clear. History (sadly) is for the most part presented as a tiresome list of dates and events. Accompanying analysis is typically written in a technical, scholarly, textbook mode with no attempt to ...

Breaking the Missional Code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community

Ed Stetzer, David Putman

B&H Academic, 2006

North America is a mission field!
If I took away one thing from this book, it is that North America is a mission field, and we must treat it as such. Ed Stetzer is an experienced church planter who did research for the North American Mission Board (NAMB) at the time that he wrote the book, and now does research for LifeWay Christian Resources and also consults with NAMB. David Putman is also an experienced church planter. ...

Mischa Berlinski

Picador, 2008

A gift to it's readers
Can't wait to read whatever Mischa Berlinski writes next. Fieldwork was given to me as a gift, and from the first page to the last, was a gift that kept on giving. Beautifully and intelligently written and researched. The most engaging book I've read since Most Beautiful Princess.

Let's Get Biblical! Why Doesn't Judaism Accept the Christian Messiah?

Rabbi Tovia Singer

RNBN Publishers, 2010

Fantastic Book - Exposing Missionaries and Saving Jews!
Rabbi Tovia Singer's book uses the Jewish Scriptures to provide a tool of self defense for Jews against proselytizing missionaries. These missionaries often use Tanakh to make their case, but sadly they do this with mis-translations, text out of context, and fabricated text. Now clearly these missionaries believe what they are saying and simply do not know their arguments using the Jewish ...

Expecting Miracles: True Stories of God's Supernatural Power and How You Can Experience It

11 reviews
Heidi Baker, Rolland Baker

Chosen, 2007

Yea God!
This book won't collect any prizes for great literature, being essentially a journal and a collection of blogs, but the story it tells is amazing. I couldn't be more impressed with Heidi and Rolland Baker. They are just ordinary people who have said, "Yes, God" and laid their lives on the alter, letting God work through them to do His will and bring His kingdom to the poorest (but richest) ...

The Distant Land of My Father

Bo Caldwell

Mariner Books, 2002

Rich and Textured
This story is so rich and textured I knew it had to be a labor of love. I was riveted to it in every spare moment for two days so I didn't take the time to check out the author. After I finished, in a quick internet search I found that Joseph Schoene is loosely based on the author's uncle. Her grandparents were missionaries and her mother's brother loved Shanghai. The book was too intimate and ...

Forgotten Ways Handbook, The: A Practical Guide for Developing Missional Churches

2 reviews
Alan Hirsch, Darryn Altclass

Brazos Press, 2009

An excellent and invaluable resource for the Missional church
It's difficult to think of a more influential voice in the missional church movement at this than Alan Hirsch. Maybe his writing partner Mike Frost? Their books have not only defined the questions we need to be asking about church in our time and context but gone a long way towards providing the answers. The Forgotten Ways Handbook is a crucial piece of that. The original volume, The ...

The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci

Jonathan D. Spence

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1985

A book Sinophiles and European Historians will Love
Not being interested in Christian missionary work in China, I had resisted reading this book for years. That was a terrible mistake and another example of how you can't judge a book by its cover or title. The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci is not so much a book about Matteo Ricci or missionaries as it is a look at the two continents of Europe and Asia in the late 1500's to 1610 (when Matteo Ricci ...

Following Jesus Through the Eye of the Needle: Living Fully, Loving Dangerously

Kent Annan

Intervarsity Press, 2009

A Great Book - fascinating and challenging
I loved this book. I was stunned by small details: taking four different modes of transport to get from home to work; watching wealthy folks on a cruise ship at port in Haiti, from behind a chain-link fence; a poor Haitian, a new acquaintance, paying 14 cents on behalf of a couple of Americans for their taxi ride; an explosion of generosity from poor Haitians on a bus for an even poorer ...
