This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by Baker Books, a name that is well-known, I’m sure. Baker publishes many of Michael Horton’s books and today they want to give some of them away. They are offering 5 prize packages and each of the 5 winners will be able to select 2 of the following titles:
The Gospel Commission is the newest of these titles. Here is a brief description of it:
Many churches in America today want to be powerful, relevant, and influential in personal and social transformation. A plethora of programs for outreach, discipleship, and spiritual disciplines are available at any bookstore and on countless websites. Yet what we need most is a renewed understanding of and commitment to the Great Commission. We assume that we already know the nature of this commission and the appropriate methods of carrying it out.
But Michael Horton contends that it too often becomes our mission instead of God’s. At a time when churches are zealously engaged in creating mission statements and strategic plans, he argues that we must ask ourselves anew whether we are ambassadors, following the script we’ve been given, or building our own kingdoms with our own blueprint.
Pastors and church leaders will value this frank and hopeful next-step exploration of the Great Commission as a call to renewed understanding and good practice.
Each winner will also receive a copy of John Stott’s Through the Bible, Through the Year devotional, which Baker’s just released in paperback.
