The Continuing Conversion of the Church, by Darrell L. Guder. Western society is now a very different, very difficult mission field. In this book, Guder explores how the church can more effectively carry out its missionary calling. He shows that the church's missionary calling requires that the theology and practice of evangelism be fundamentally rethought and redirected, focused on the continuing conversion of the church itself so that it can in turn be a faithful witness in today's world. His constructive conclusions about changes for the church in structure and practice make vital reading for teachers, church leaders, students, and everyone engaged in mission work.
