There is a plethora of books on missions that are no longer in print. Why is this? Is it because there is a lack of emphasis on missions and the advancement of the Gospel? Have we become so focused on good doctrine and expanding our churches in America that our eyes have neglected to look to the field? Countless books are published every month within Reformed Christianity—yet how many focus on the subject of missions? A subject near and dear to our Savior’s heart, who commanded us to pray for laborers to go into his harvest (Matthew 9:38). Whatever the answer may be—may this work be another read that stirs you up for the cause of advancing the Gospel to the lost. This book deals with the miracles of missions, that is, the marvels of the change of character brought about by the Holy Spirit’s work of regeneration.

Pursuing God: A Seeker’s Guide - Jim Elliff (Free Christian Audiobook)
Pursuing God: A Seekers Guide offers its readers a straightforward, clear, and engaging explanation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The reader is led with integrity, and in conversational tone to understand why the biblical Gospel is good news. Beginning with man’s dead, blind, and sinful condition, and then moving toward God’s wrath, the certainty of death, and the future judgement of the world, the reader is faced with his state before a holy and just God. From there we read of the Gospel’s power to change lives, and then its demands for faith and repentance, along with clear explanations about what those things are. Next in the book comes counsel to any reader who embraces the Gospel. Here they are helped in learning to walk in initial obedience to Christ (prayer, Bible reading, fellowship with Christians, evangelism, etc.).

Wasted Faith | Evangelicalism’s Most Urgent Need! - Jim Elliff (Audiobook)
“What is most alarming is the risky willingness of many professing Christians to gamble eternity on an emotional one-time experience, a ‘sinner’s prayer’ properly prayed, or a feeling of substantial relief at a juncture in time, without ever taking a serious look at what is evident now, at this moment. Is eternal life of so little value that it seems unnecessary to examine ourselves for the evidence of it?” — from Wasted Faith

Robert Cleaver Chapman of Barnstaple (Audiobook)
Years ago I was very impacted by Robert L. Peterson’s book, “Robert Chapman: A Biography”. This audiobook is of the original biography, “Robert Cleaver Chapman of Barnstaple” written by William H. Bennet. In the author’s own words he says: “The chief value of the book will be found in the reproduction of some of Mr. Chapman’s own words, both in the brief memoir and in the subsequent pages. One less occupied could probably have arranged available materials in a more orderly manner and also have thought of matters that will not be found here.”

Chundra Lela: From Indian Priestess To Christian Evangelist (Audiobook)
Chundra Lela–A Convert From Hinduism - “You wicked creature! It is because of your sin that this has happened.” These words are roughly spoken to a sobbing nine-year-old girl, as her earrings are torn from her ears, her jewels from her hair, and her bracelets are hammered off her arms. Though she is the daughter of the priest to the Rajah, or King, of Nepal, she is not spared the disgrace and suffering which is the widow’s lot in India."

The Holy Spirit In Missions (Audiobook) - A.J Gordon
Gordon says, "'Educate men to give' is wise counsel. 'Regenerate men give' is the lesson of universal missionary experience." In addition to pointing out the importance of the Spirit's work of regeneration in the lost, Gordon discusses the importance of practical holiness in missionary life. "Translators are always needed on the heathen fields; but the greatest among such is he who can translate the example of Jesus Christ into the dialect of daily life, into the universal speech of pain and poverty and suffering for the sake of others."
