4Charles Spurgeon once said, "You're either a missionary or an imposter." To be a Christ-follower means joining Jesus on his mission to redeem humanity. But missional living is easier said than done in a culture drifting toward post-Christian secularism.

More than ever, we need a dose of Jesus' missionary ethos to fill our minds with gospel passion. This Spirit-infused, mind-transforming download begins with The Mind of a Missionary.

Each chapter of this book highlights missionary heroes-historical and modern-day Christians-who challenge us to join God's redemptive mission. You'll be inspired by the lives of Jim & Elisabeth Elliot, C. T. Studd, Nikolaus Zinzendorf, Robert Moffat, Jackie Pullinger, David Eubank, Nik & Ruth Ripken, William Carey, Hudson Taylor, Amy Carmichael, Don Richardson, and Heidi Baker.

You'll find that God uses ordinary, run-of-the-mill folks to extend his glory into the earthly setting.

Author David Joannes draws upon history, psychology, life experience, and powerful storytelling to reshape your perception of God's unique plan for your life. He says, "If you really want to thrive on mission, you must allow God to redefine your definition of the normal Christian life."

That's the message of The Mind of a Missionary-which Nik Ripken, author of The Insanity of God and The Insanity of Obedience, calls "A future missions classic."

Every citizen in God's kingdom is significant, and you have a unique role in his Great Commission mandate. The Mind of a Missionary will unlock your passion for faith-sharing, help you put on the mind of Christ, and experience what the mind of a missionary is all about.
