Recommended Missions Resources

“Answers can be given solely on the basis of Scripture.” That is what sets this book apart from so many modern books on missions.

Miscellaneous Book Reviews

Book Review: God in the Dark, by Os Guinness

Review by Patrick Schreiner | 9Marks Journal: Missions | 03.02.2010

Guinness has done the church a favor by taking a thoughtful and serious look at doubt and providing biblical answers to tough questions.

Book Review: Where Are All the Brothers?, by Eric Redmond

Review by Tony Carter | 9Marks Journal: Missions | 03.03.2010
