The Missionary Family
The title of this book points to a feature—the missionary family—often considered to be a distinctive of the Protestant missionary movement.

Controversies in Mission
Crossing social, cultural, and religious barriers and making disciples of all nations has probably never been without some level of controversy. This book is an attempt to hit the pause button on this rapid-paced world and to reflect on how we do mission, especially in light of the new layers of complexity that globalization brings. While the contributors engage in new aspects of mission and cultural encounter unique to the twenty-first century, the underlying issues of each chapter are age-old topics that have reared their heads at various times throughout history: priorities in mission, power struggles, perspectives on cultural others, and contextualization. With that in mind, our aims are twofold: (1) to carefully consider issues causing tension and contention within current mission thought, practice and strategy and then (2) to engage in serious but charitable dialogue for the sake of God’s mission and the salvation of all peoples.

Peer-reviewed, classroom-tested, and tailored specifically for introductory science courses, Favourite Demonstrations is an essential complement to every college instructor's lesson plans. The book is an all-in-one compilation of 36 popular classroom demonstrations published since 1993 in the "Favorite Demonstration" column of NSTA's Journal of College Science Teaching. The collection begins with a chapter on safety, "The Rules of Research." From there, chapters emphasize conveying scientific principles while making them memorable.

Most are simple to prepare; use low-cost, readily available materials; and can be repeated throughout the day for back-to-back classes.
Equipping for Global Mission
From Cognitive Teaching to Connected Learning Given the landscape of global Christianity and the variety of approaches to theological and missiological training today, how do we equip the global church for the mission of God?
