THE CALL
I am amazed and fascinated by the variety of calls that each person experiences and makes during his or her lifetime. We are all bombarded by calls, yet I realize that we cannot exist without them. This book's chronology of the variety of calls speaks to one specific call--the call to salvation. Many from different lifestyles, social status, and points of view responded to this call and experienced a rewarding and complete life in service to God. The path to this enriched life was not easy for the many that chose to accept the call. Persecution, imprisonment, beatings, and other atrocities are documented and outlined between the covers of this book. Yet irrespective of the obstacles, perseve...
Mission Miracles and the Prayers of God's People
Do you have difficulty knowing how to pray for the missionaries you support and have promised to uphold in prayer and/or for the missionaries your church supports? Do you feel that you can't pray for them if you haven't had news from them recently? Is it hard for your missions committee to motivate people to pray?

William and Catherine Booth
This husband and wife team founded the Salvation Army, which has provided spiritual guidance and physical aid to thousands over the past twelve decades. As a young preacher struggling with the ministry, William (1829-1912) found a perfect complement in Catherine (1829-1890). Ultimately, in 1865, they would establish a movement that became the Salvation Army, which William served as 'general' until his death. Their vision and service to God have resulted in an organization that still serves mankind a century after their deaths.
Hudson Taylor
From early childhood, Hudson Taylor (1832--1905) dreamed of becoming a missionary in China. Though he would struggle with his faith throughout his youth, by age seventeen he had settled his spiritual issues and acknowledged God's call to the mission field. In China, Taylor took the unusual step of adopting native garb, which helped him earn the respect of many Chinese. Depending entirely on God for his financial support and for protection from hostile elements of Chinese society, Taylor lead a work that eventually became the China Inland Mission, which laid the groundwork for much of that nation's modern-day Christianity.

Renewed for Africa's Makeover
The Bible is widely distributed in Africa, where nearly half of the population identifies with Christianity. The Bible has many solutions for the continent's problems. Christ told his followers that they are the light of the world. Every person who confesses Jesus Christ is called to be light. Therefore, every believer has a responsibility in shaping our world. Christians have the potential to foster true positive change in Africa. Nevertheless, Christian influence is not very visible in African society. Discover how you can have a Biblical impact on your country and your continent.
Eric Liddell
For many people, having a movie made about your life would be the ultimate accomplishment. But not for Eric Liddell, subject of the film Chariots of Fire. Though he won a gold medal in the 1924 Olympics, Liddell was far more concerned with running the race of the Christian life. He is remembered best for refusing to compete on Sunday, but after his brief track career, Liddell pursued his true goal in life: serving as missionary to China. He died in a Japanese internment camp during World War II, at the age of forty-three. Though his life was brief, Eric Liddell remains an inspiration to many.
Luis Palau
"During his three and a half decades of ministry so far, more than 727,000 people have said 'yes' to Christ in almost four hundred crusades. And although he's dodged bullets in Columbia, defied guerrila warriors in Peru, and outlived bomb threats in Egypt, Luis says he won't give up living the gospel, or preaching it."--Back cover
