Where No One Has Heard
“J. Christy Wilson will go down in history as one of the great and courageous missionaries for the gospel in the twentieth century.” —Billy Graham Who was J. Christy Wilson Jr.? Many have never heard his name, but Christy Wilson’s life had a ripple effect in modern missions. Read the first full biography of the humble, adventurous man of prayer who helped launch the Urbana missions conference, pioneered ministry in Afghanistan when others thought it impossible, mobilized hundreds of students toward world evangelization, and reintroduced the biblical idea of leveraging one’s profession for the kingdom with the term “tentmaking.” Riveting, uplifting, and frequently amusing, this book will challenge you to reconsider what is possible when we dare to yield to Christ and his purposes in the world.
Today's Tentmakers
One million American Christians live and work abroad. They are not missionaries. These people are students, administrators, engineers, teachers, and doctors in other countries. They could be called "tentmakers". Just as the Apostle Paul used his vocation, tentmaking, to finance his witness to the churches, so today's tentmakers support themselves with their own hands and minds, shining the light of Christ around them. "We err," suggests author J.Christy Wilson, Jr., "when we assign personal evangelism at home to the lay Christian but missions work abroad only to the specialist." Tentmaking is available to everyone. Today's Tentmakers is a handbook which is of value not only to the prospective tentmaker, but also to the Christian planning to travel overseas. You'll discover here information about foreign travel and employment, support organizations, language training, moving, cultural adjustment, and politics. Whether you are a student or teacher, housewife or doctor, Today's Tentmakers is an opportunity of adventure and service in God's work.

Miracles from Heaven
Annabel Beam is one of three sisters raised in the Texas countryside by loving parents. But what should have been a happy, carefree childhood was blighted when Annabel developed a painful and seemingly incurable digestive disorder. Her parents spared no expense in the search for a cure, but medical experts assured them there was none. On a rare day when Annabel felt well enough to play outside, she was climbing an old hollowed-out tree when a branch snapped and she fell, head first, thirty feet down inside the tree. Miraculously, she survived the fall but was knocked unconscious. Rescued and later released from hospital, Annabel told her mother, 'you know I went to heaven when I was in that ...
Apostle to Islam
Samuel M. Zwemer (1867-1952) was a missionary, author, and scholar renowned as a global authority on Christian missions. As an early leader in the Student Volunteer Movement, pioneered the Arabian Mission in Iraq and Bahrain. Afterwards he was based out of Egypt for many years, where he published the Moslem World Quarterly and became a global leader in Christian missions to Muslims for many decades. Later in life, he was appointed a chair of History of Religion at Princeton Theological Seminary. His biography is in itself an account of the revival of interest in missions to Muslims in the 20th century.//J. Christy Wilson (1891-1973) was a missionary in Tabriz, Iran for 22 years and succeeded Zwemer as professor of missions at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he taught for 20 years. He also authored "The Christian Message to Islam."//All of Pioneer Library's books are sustainably sourced, ethically extracted, and organically grown.

Working Abroad with Purpose
The wise King Solomon gives us this proverb: “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings” (Prov 22:29). This book won’t ensure that you and your professional skills end up meeting kings, but it will show how you and your training can be planted among unreached people abroad. By taking a job in your field of expertise, you gain far more than a paycheck; rather, a network of relationships with colleagues and neighbors. In doing so, you will learn that you are in good company with the Apostle Paul and thousands of other “tentmakers” in church history. Deckert draws on his tentmaking experience with his wife and children spanning twenty years and six countries. Readers will learn of a biology professor colleague in the Middle East who, on hearing the gospel over lunch, replied, “That’s different. That’s wonderful. No one ever taught me that before.” In another country, a nationally ranked chess player, after reading the Gospels, was moved to tears, saying, “He died for me. I’m a sinner.” This book takes you through twelve key areas of tentmaking, from finding a job to retirement.
Varieties of Police Behavior
The patrolman has the most difficult, complex, and least understood task in the police department. Much less is known of him than of his better publicized colleague, the detective. In this important and timely book, James Q. Wilson describes the patrolman and the problems he faces that arise out of constraints imposed by law, politics, public opinion, and the expectations of superiors. The study considers how the uniformed officer in eight communities deals with such common offenses as assault, theft, drunkenness, vice, traffic, and disorderly conduct. Six of the communities are in New York State: Albany, Amsterdam, Brighton, Nassau County, Newburgh, and Syracuse. The others are Highland Par...
