Summary

Essential, Scripture-Based Guidance for Christians Who Are Considering Missions Work
What does it take to be a missionary? Is it enough to love God, communicate well, and enjoy overseas travel? Is every Christian who proclaims the gospel technically a missionary? Understanding the biblical definition and qualifications of this role can mean the difference between spiritual fruit and irresponsible—even if well-meaning—ministry endeavors.
In this addition to the Church Questions series, Andy Johnson presents a clear-cut, gospel-centered standard for aspiring missionaries. First, he outlines the marks of a missionary: those commissioned and sent out for gospel work by a church. Next, he covers the specific responsibilities of missionaries demonstrated in Scripture. This brief guide also explains the importance of patient service in ministry, church membership and participation, and family considerations to help readers determine whether they are truly called and ready to serve God on the mission field.  

- Brief, Accessible Resource: Easy-to-share guide uses Scripture and engaging stories to answer commonly asked questions about missions work 
- Gospel-Centered Guidance: Examines biblical examples, including the Great Commission, and contemporary models, such as rapid-multiplication ministry methods, to demonstrate correct and incorrect approaches to missions
- A Great Resource for Church Members: Helps Christians understand the qualifications and responsibilities of faithful missionaries

    At the Hour Between Dog and Wolf is the story of a twelve-year-old Parisian Jewish girl in World War II France, living "in hiding" as a Catholic orphan with a family in a small village. 
 
 
 
When Danielle Marton's father is killed during the early days of the German Occupation, her mother sends her to live in a quiet farming town near Limoges in Vichy France. Now called Marie-Jeanne Chantier, Danielle struggles to balance the truth of what's happened to her family and her country with the lies she must tell to keep herself safe. At first, she's bitter about being left behind by her mother, and horrified at having to milk the cow and memorize Catholic prayers for church. But as the years pass and the Occupation worsens, Danielle finds it easier to suppress her former life entirely, and Marie-Jeanne becomes less and less of an act. By the time she's fifteen and there is talk amongst the now divided town of an Allied invasion, not only has Danielle lost the memories of her father's face and the smell of her mother's perfume, but her very self, transforming into a strict Catholic and an anti-Semitic, fervent disciple of fascism.
