George Verwer, the founder and current international director of Operation Mobilization (OM), writes this book after 40 years of trying and motivating kingdom work. Having worked with so many people (over 100,000 people have been through OM since the late '50s) from all over the world (over 60 nationalities represented within OM), his insight and knowledge into world missions are practically unmatched today. The cornerstone of this book is the need for a more 'grace awakened' and balanced approach to world missions. Mr. Verwer clearly spells out simplistic and encouraging solutions to many of the key issues facing the church today, such as tensions between being and doing, leadership, using only nationals as missionaries, and many more.

From the book's dust jacket: "There is nothing worse than a stagnant relationship with Jesus. This book is a jumpstart to renewed passion for Jesus and a road map for seeing Him walk out His life through us! You will never be the same!"

I couldn't put this book down when I started reading it. It was easy to read and reproducible. John showed the simplicity of the message of the Bible in proving all the more that it is God's design to redeem all men back to Himself. God didn't just love Israel in the Old Testament, but chose them to be His ambassadors to make His name known among all peoples, just like He has chosen us as Gentiles and given us the commission to extend Christ's Kingdom to the far corners of the earth. I will never read my Bible the same again.

This book is a tremendous instrument for missions agencies, churches, and missionaries. It is the result of studies on missionary attrition, its causes, and its cures. I highly recommend it.

FTLT is an organisation, situated in Pretoria, South Africa. It is designed to shape, train and equip a very particular type of missionary / person; one appropriate for the task of impacting his/her sphere of influence with Godly, Biblical values, and missions and church planting amongst some of the Least Reached People Groups of the world. Key leaders and mission strategists around the world have long agreed that the missionary leader of tomorrow requires a different and more holistic approach of training, preparing them for the harsh realities they might encounter. In our attempt to achieve the above we desire to see generations of mission leaders trained and equipped who are prepared to lay their lives and personal dreams down for the sake of expanding His kingdom.
