The authors term this model \"giftive mission,\" since it is based on the metaphor of a free gift. They suggest that seeing mission activity as giving the greatest gift possible-- the gospel message-- not only has the potential for greater missionary success but also enables us to imitate more closely God's gracious activity in the world - from back of the book.\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 407 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Christians and the art of caring \/ William V.
