Description: What does God's mission look like? Who is supposed to carry it out--and how?
Juan F. Martínez and Jamie Pitts lead us on an inquiry into God's mission in the world: what it is, what it is not, and who is invited to be part of it. If Jesus is truly God's mission incarnate, we need to look at what Jesus did and how he did it. Martínez helps readers understand what mission means, why Christians in the past have made missteps, and how we can learn from Christian communities that are spreading the good news of Jesus today. Doing mission in the way of Jesus may look different from what many assume, but it is a call that the church cannot afford to miss.Review Quotes: "I don't know how they've done it, but Juan Martínez and Jamie Pitts have condensed what previous missiologists have taken hundreds of pages to do--namely, explain the whole of the Christian mission. This little book contains all you need to know about God's mission and how to join it. It should be distributed like tracts at every church and seminary!"--AL TIZON, affiliate associate professor of missional and global leadership at North Park University
