Recently, while talking with some people at a church in New Jersey, I was interested to know if they had ever read a book on missions. That includes biographies, history or just a general informational book about the work of missions. I was surprised to hear that these folks had yet to read ANYTHING about the work of missions! And they have been members of a church for over 20 years.
As Christians do we read about this subject? I would like to know what you, our reader and blog enthusiast, have read about missions. Please take a few seconds and answer the question in our simple poll above. I would like to know what the average Church-goer has read in area of missions, missiology, or the work of missions.
I think the results might prompt a healthy self-examination of what we are thinking about a Christians today. After all, many of us would admit that we need to be aware of what God is doing around the world. And we would at least nod our heads to the value of the lessons learned through the lives of missionaries, both past and present. Let’s see what priority global outreach and spread of the Gospel has in our reading!
After this poll has been up a few weeks, I will post some books I have read and would suggest you read too!

Para quienes no le conozcan aun al eterno Dios procuro dar las razones por mi fe. Son razones no basadas en emociones ni en la intuición. Están arriagadas en la verdad eterna, la que no cambia y que es defensible, la verdad de Dios, el Creador y Sustentador de este mundo.

This blog is born of deep gratitude to the Author of life, to the eternal "I Am," who gave me everything I have and what I am. Without Him I am nothing.
For those who do not yet know Him, I give my reasons for the faith I have. They are reasons not based on emotions or intuition or looking for something better. But reasons based on the eternal truth, which is unchanging and is defensible, the truth of God, the Creator and Sustainer of this world.
