Summary of content:
Do you long to let go of self-centeredness and be more eternally minded? Do you desire to make a difference in the lost world but aren't sure how to go about it? Based on the testimony of thousands who have read Revolution in World Missions, this gripping message can radically change your life.
In this exciting and fast-moving narrative, K.P. Yohannan shares how God brought him from his remote Indian village to become the founder of Gospel for Asia. Drawing form fascinating true stories and eye-opening statistics, K.P. challenges Christians to examine and change their lifestyles in view of millions who have never heard the Gospel.
Personal thoughts and response:
This book is a great eye-opener, particulary for North American Christian churches for the way in which we view missions overseas. The astonishing real-life examples that K.P. describes makes you re-evaluate our priorities for how we do church, evangelism, and global missions. I would recommend this book whether or not you are interested in missions because it gives a different perspective as to the real heart of missions both at home and abroad. It's also interesting to read about how such a huge organization like Gospel for Asia came to be. (btw, did I mention that you can get a copy for free?)
