The Father delights in his Son.This is the starting point of mission, its very core.'Mission' means 'sending', but for centuries this was only used to describe what God did, sending his Son and his Spirit into the world. World mission exists because the Father wants people to delight in his Son, and the Son wants people to delight in the Father.Tim Chester introduces us to a cascade of love, flowing from the Father to the Son through the Spirit. And that love overflows and, through us, keeps on flowing to our Christian community, and beyond us to a very needy world.Mission matters. This book is for ordinary individuals willing to step out and become part of the most amazing, exciting venture in the history of the world, understanding its rich biblical context.This title is brought to you by Keswick Ministries as part of their wide range of resources.

Discipleship involves a gentle journey with our Saviour. Its demands will dovetail happily with our carefully crafted plans.Wrong.

And he's calling us to a relationship, not to a set of rules or a miserable, spartan existence. In fact, it is through losing our lives that we find them, and thereby discover the source of pure joy.What a pity we set the bar too low.
