Patrick O'Connor highlights specific action-oriented principles from the teachings of George Patterson as he guides the reader through the various aspects of cross-cultural ministry: the gathering of new believers, the development of new churches, the mobilization of new churches into a movement, the training of new leaders, and the departure of the pioneering ministers.
Most Christians know and understand that we are to seek to reach the lost around the world. Yet, Christ's command to us is more specific and calls us to a higher standard of involvement with the peoples of the world. He has called the church to make disciples of all people groups and to teach them to observe all He commanded us (Matthew 28:18-20). In recent years mission agencies and missionaries have increasingly shifted away from discipleship and teaching toward an emphasis upon evangelism and church planting—many to the exclusion of any other field activity. While evangelism and church planting are essential components of a biblical missions program, they are not sufficient for the complete task to which we have been called. Reaching and Teaching examines the task Christ gave in the Great Commission and redefines the task of missions from that which is currently prevalent. It surveys missions strategies and methodologies that have increasingly replaced Christ’s Great Commission instructions even as they have sought to fulfill it. It is a clarion call to return to the biblical task of reaching and teaching the nations for Christ’s sake.
And he brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? --Acts 16:30 In this age of pluralism, universalism, and anything-goes-ism, the truth concerning biblical salvation is under attack even in many of our churches. In Salvation: God's Greatest Miracle, Clay A. Kahler presents the biblical teaching of salvation in clear, concise, and logical terms. God, the creator and sustainer of the universe, lovingly and intentionally provided all that is needed for the reconciliation of man to Himself, through Jesus Christ. In this book you will learn what God's plan of salvation is and how to receive it for yourself. Paul the apostle tells us that peace, joy, and hope are ours for the taking, through the gospel. Kahler approaches this most important biblical doctrine in his typical no-nonsense, plain-talking style. It is a must-read for all who are saved and for those who are struggling with the idea of salvation.

Drawing on historical documents and newspaper reports, this book provides a fascinating portrait of a diverse group of character actresses who left their stamp on Hollywood from the early sound era through the 1960s. The lives of 35 actresses are explored in detail. Some are familiar: Margaret Hamilton starred in dozens of films before and after her signature role as the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz; Una Merkel nearly died when her mother committed suicide in 1945. Others are nearly forgotten: Maude Eburne owed her career to a spectacular fall on the Broadway stage in 1914; Greta Meyer, who played the quintessential German maid, came to Hollywood after years in New York's Yiddish theater--though she wasn't Jewish.
