Let the Nations be Glad!
In Let the Nations Be Glad!, John Piper provides a sound theological foundation for missions. Drawing on texts from the Old and New Testaments, he demonstrates that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship drives missionary outreach. Piper describes prayer as the fuel of missions work because of its focus on a relationship with God rather than the needs of the world. He goes on to illustrate that while suffering is the price of missions, God is worthy of any sacrifice. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and discusses the extent of the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means to reaching "all nations."
This book is essential reading for all those involved in or preparing for missions work and provides inspiring theological reflection for college and seminary students. This book also offers enlightenment for pastors, youth workers, those involved in campus ministries, and all who want to connect their labors to God's global purposes.
