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":3,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Developing a strategy for missions : a biblical, historical, and cultural introduction \/ John Mark Terry, J.D.

Supernatural Forces in Spiritual Warfare: Wrestling with Dark Angels is a compilation of keynote speaker presentations in an important symposium that was a public legitimizing of academic pursuits in fields related to the supernatural power of God both for local church ministries and for world evangelization. Topics include: Power Evangelism: Definitions and Directions by John Wimber We Are at War by Ed Murphy Deception: Satan's Chief Tactic by Timothy M. Warner. We live in a day when the Holy Spirit is speaking strongly to the churches about aggressively retaking the dominion over creation that Adam forfeited to satan. Dr. Wagner examines the role spiritual warfare played in Christ's ministry and among His first followers and applies it to today's battle.\r\n\r\nOther Notes: Previously published as: Wrestling with dark angels : toward a deeper understanding of the supernatural forces in spiritual warfare \/ C.
