This is no ordinary missions book. The theme isn't new, but the approach is refreshing and compelling, as contributors David Platt, Louie Giglio, Michael Ramsden, Ed Stetzer, Michael Oh, David Mathis, and John Piper take up the mantle of the Great Commission and its Spirit-powered completion. From astronomy to exegesis, from apologetics to the Global South, from being missional at home to employing our resources in the global cause, Finish the Mission aims to breathe fresh missionary fire into a new generation, as together we seek to reach the unreached and engage the unengaged.

Building and Sustaining a Thriving Leadership Culture Essential to every healthy church is a biblical model of leadership. In the New Testament, church leadership is built around a team of elders working together, each bringing his own unique skills and gifts to the cause of shepherding the flock God entrusted to them. However, in many churches today the principle of plurality in leadership is often misunderstood, mistakenly applied, or completely ignored. Dave Harvey encourages church leaders to prioritize plurality for the surprising ways that it helps churches to flourish. This book not only builds a compelling case for churches to adopt and maintain biblical elder pluralities guided by solid leadership but also supplies practical tools to help elders work together for transformation.

"You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." --Acts 1:8, nkjv You don't have to be a globe-trotting evangelist to tell others about Jesus. We all have neighbors who need Him. That's why Jesus told His disciples to make Jerusalem--their own neighborhood--the starting point for spreading His gospel. A great way to do that is with visitation: by just dropping by to visit or get to know your neighbors. Dr. Amoakoh Gyasi-Agyei digs deep into this unique topic, showing why visitation is an effective evangelism tool and a foolproof demonstration of God's love. He shows you how to explore God's Word with your neighbors, disciple new believers, and motivate others to join you in the adventure of neighborhood evangelism. His detailed guidebook offers practical instruction that makes it an excellent resource you will want to have with you when you're witnessing.
