Good Christian Books Under 10 Bucks (12/19/15)
Christians today define mission more broadly and variably than ever before. Are we, as the body of Christ, headed in the same direction or are we on divergent missions?
Some argue that the mission of the Church is to confront injustice and alleviate suffering, doing more to express God’s love for the world. Others are concerned that the church is in danger of losing its God-centeredness and thereby emphasize the proclamation of the gospel. It appears as though misunderstanding of mission persists.

The Invested Life: Making Disciples of All Nations One Person at a Time – T.E. Koshy ($8.58)
Every follower of Jesus Christ should be able to answer two simple questions:
- Who is investing in me?
- Who am I investing in?
God desires to pour an abundance of spiritual and emotional capital into your life. And he wants to use you to pour spiritual and emotional capital into others. Along the way, you’ll be changed. Others will change. You will experience God and his community in a new and personal and supernatural way. And so will others. (via Amazon)
