This was another
Christmas read that was quickly devoured. Having said that, I actually ended up
rereading parts of it and there was a one particular section that will stay
with me for a long time. For such a short book there’s a lot packed into it and
I found it to be very inspiring.
And it’s an
interesting colour.
What I found
so good about this book was the weaving together of what the Bible says about
mission and the history of mission. I think it’s very easy to forget that as
people of God we have been sent to tell people the good news about what God has
done. And I don’t often reflect on how effective that has been in the past or
on the bravery of people who went to share the gospel with people who would
otherwise have never heard.
Thinking
about how we can fulfil this when we are all self isolating and staying home
is a bit trickier and I don’t think many of us would have foreseen circumstances
like ours today. Still the Word of God does still get out and about and it’s
great to see that it is not bound by the virus.
