Books I Have Read: Traduire Le Testament De Dieu

This is a good book and one that I would recommend to anyone who speaks French and who is interested in mission and particularly in the relationships between mission agencies and churches in Africa.

Books I Have Read: The Mission of God

on the one hand, the source of mission is the Church – the existing people of God, the Pentecost community – which continues Christ’s economy in a visible, sacramental and ecclesial way; on the other hand, the goal of mission is the Church as the sacrament of the kingdom, as the incorporation of creation into communion with God.

Books I Have Read: Environmental Issues

I would especially encourage anyone who doesn’t have an interest in creation or the environment to read this book because we’ve only got one planet to live on and we were commissioned to take care of it – and we don’t seem to be doing a great job.
