Resumen del Editor

Why Missions and Evangelism Are an Overflow of Delighting in God

Evangelism and missions are parts of the Christian life often accompanied by fears, insecurities, and cultural pressures. In this addition to the Union series, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves argue that an individual’s relationship with God influences their evangelism and missions more than anything else. Scripture clearly shows that a believer’s responsibility is to make God known in the world, but this cannot be done without first knowing and enjoying God.

To illustrate how knowledge of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ’s sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church’s future hope. There is hope for those who find these topics intimidating—when believers focus on the glory of the lamb of God, the gospel will shine through them.

Another Gem in this Union Series

An excellent book here, helping us grasp the truth of the goodness of God towards us in Christ, revealed in the gospel, which can and should fill us and overflow in our mission in this world.
The only weak part is the end of chapter 5, which was too triumphalistic.

Buy this audiobook

Michael Reeves, Daniel Hames (sorry to Daniel Hames for misspelling his last name as "Haines") in a previous recommendation made in my rating of "evangelical pharisees" by Michael Reeves)

Only recently did this lister discover how to access two more categories of giving stars, and the ability to make written comments.

This is one of three audiobook recommendations I think are in accord with one another such that other listeners will be greatly helped (= built up in Christ to the glory of God)
