I am reading Let the Nations Be Glad! by John Piper. It's a book on missions that's part of the TUMI curriculum. The stories of the missionaries in it are pretty moving. I really like this book.
I am the type of reader who gets excited about learning and I love to talk about good books. This book by John Piper is a good book for many reasons. It's not just written for missionaries; every Christian's faith and walk would be strengthened by it. Even folks who aren't Christian could learn a lot from this book. Wherever it speaks of "world-changing missions" one could substitute the term "public service"...
Lord knows our inner cities, our states, our country needs a whole lot of people to answer the call to public service. And whether we answer the call "missions" or "public service," the aspect of suffering while doing the right thing will pop up. This book tells us how to prepare for it, learn from it, and grow while modeling the correct response to those who will be watching us. Talk about practical and high-value information! See why I like this book?
