Customer Reviews

Research information source

I ordered this book as a source for a research paper for college. It is exactly what I needed and will now become one of my main sources for the topic of contextualization. This book would be excellent for the mission major, as at the end of each chapter, all sources are cited, great for a spidering search. My professor was excited about the book, as it is required reading before he begins his doctorate studies. I would recommend it to any missions student. Highly relevant information, you will definitely use it for any research.

Convinced Me To Join Mission Aviation Fellowship Learning Technologies

One of the trends is that 9/10 pastors who leave their villages for theological education never return to serve their people. This fact was significant in my decision to join Mission Aviation Fellowship's Learning Technologies department. See http://ontherhoads.org for more.
