Andrew Murray wrote this book as a response to reading the conference report from the Ecumenical Missionary Conference in New York in 1900. Murray’s burden was that the missionary task begin, first and foremost, with individual believers accepting their responsibility for the Great Commission. In this book, he seeks to stir the hearts of believers by showing the great need for the Gospel around the world as well as the lack of effort from the Church in his day. Murray writes with a devotional heart and a passion for Gospel advance to the ends of the earth. This book is great for those who are looking for a devotional on the topic of missions. You will be challenged to look beyond yourself and see the need for the Gospel around the world. You may even decide to go!

For the US Army to succeed in the 21st Century, Soldiers of all ranks must understand and use Mission Command. Mission Command empowers leaders at all levels, allowing them to synchronize all warfighting functions and information systems to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative against a range of adversaries. This collection of historical vignettes seeks to sharpen our understanding of Mission Command philosophy and practice by providing examples from the past in which Mission Command principles played a decisive role. Some vignettes show junior officers following their commander's intent and exercising disciplined initiative in very chaotic combat operations. Others recount how field grade officers built cohesive teams that relied on mutual trust to achieve key operational objectives. Each historical account is complemented by an annotated explanation of how the six Mission Command principles shaped the action. For this reason, the collection is ideal for leader development in the Army school system as well as for unit and individual professional development. Mission Command places great responsibility on our Soldiers.

Steve Addison gleans the characteristics of the dynamic missionary movement from biblical, historical and contemporary case studies.
