Whether you are an intercessor praying behind the scenes for world change, or a missionary reaping the benefits of intercession, Operation World will give you the information necessary to bring the good news to those who have not heard it. It offers demographic and geographical information for every country in the world, as well as answers to prayer (for applicable countries), and prayer requests.Alphabetized for easy reference, Operation World offers some of the most useful and comprehensive data geared to missions and evangelization. And the appendices are packed with contact information, names of government officials, resources, etc. The book is indexed by people groups and place, so information is always easy to find and use. Pray for countries that are put on your heart, or follow the year-long plan in the book and pray for the whole world. Either way, you can be part of the Great Commission, and help to spread the Gospel.

| | Salvation to the Ends of the Earth
Peter T. O'Brien, Andreas J. Kostenberger
Retail Price: $26.00
CBD Price: $18.99
( In Stock )
Authors Andreas Köstenberger and Peter T. O'Brien feel that missions has often been neglected in biblical theology. This is why they now offer us a comprehensive study of the theme of missions from a biblical-theological view, looking at how the entire Bible views missions. Their conclusion: "Mission is linked inextricably to humanity's sinfulness and need for redemption, and to God's provision of salvation in the person and work of Christ." The authors feel that the foundation of Christian mission must lay in Jesus' salvific mission as revealed in the Bible.

A History of Christian Missions traces the expansion of Christianity from its origins in the Middle East to Rome, the rest of Europe and the Colonies, and assesses its position as a major religious force worldwide. Many of the world's religions havenot actively sought converts, largely because they have been too regional in character. Buddhism, Islam and Christianity, however, are the three chief exceptions to this, and Christianity in particular has found a home in almost every country in the world. Professor Neill's excellent and authoritative survey examines centuries of missionary acticity, beginning with Christ and working through the Crusades and the colonization of Asia and Africa up to the present day, concluding with a shrewd look ahead to what the future may hold for the Christian Church. This revised edition of the late Professor's Neill's work has been updated according to his projected intentions by Owen Chadwick.

Yates offers an engaging description of how Christianity has expanded from its humble origins to become a leading world religion. In doing so, Yates narrows his focus to some of the missionary pioneers of Christianity such as the Apostle Paul, Willibrod, David Brainerd, William Carey, David Livingstone, and Mary Slessor. The discussion progresses both chronologically and geographically, marking Christianity's development through time and from continent to continent. Like the other volumes in the IVP Histories series, The Expansion of Christianity combines its easily accessible text with beautiful art, illustrations, and photographs, making it a wonderful introduction to the worldwide growth of Christianity.
