How the Church's Mission and Knowledge of God Are Intertwined Many Christians  know they should be passionate about evangelism, but in reality they often find it daunting. In this concise version of  God Shines Forth, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves urge Christians to grow in their knowledge and enjoyment of God—as they know God more, they will be spurred on to authentic service through missions and evangelism. To illustrate how the nature of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope. They invite readers to look to Jesus as the glory of God in the world, which is the Christian's ultimate motivation to share the love of God with others.  Ideal for Laypeople, Pastors, and Students: Specifically for those interested in how theology shapes mission Full Version Also Available:  What Fuels the Mission of the Church? is the concise version of  God Shines Forth Biblically Grounded: Teaches how biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope inform evangelism and missions Michael Reeves (PhD, King's College, London) is president and professor of theology at Union School of Theology in Bridgend and Oxford, United Kingdom.
