To the Ends of the Earth – Dana Jarod Mahan

A5, 251p.

If you are looking for a book about the history of Christian outreach, about the religious principles on which this sacred, yet sacrificial duty has been founded, or about the conceptual strategies which drive it ever onward, then please, put the one you now have in your hands back on the shelf and continue your search.

Yet if you would like to know what the lived, daily experience of mission and outreach work is like, in all its glorious and gritty detail, then please linger a moment more. With his latest book, To the Ends of the Earth, Dana Jarod Mahan has turned what began as a series of actual letters home to America, from the harvest fields of Africa, into a moment of pause, an invitation to reflect on where a similar calling might take you – yes you, even you, especially you – if the Lord so ordains it, from on High.
