The Symphony of Mission: Playing Your Part in God's Work in the World

by Michael W. Goheen, Jim Mullins

Overview

This book argues that God's mission is broad and that all of us can live with missional intentionality by understanding the many facets of missions and focusing on a particular calling. Just like different instruments of a symphony harmonize together, each aspect of human participation in mission—evangelism, justice initiatives, poverty alleviation, faithful work in the marketplace, art—helps us play our part in God's work in the world. Combining expertise from a mission scholar and a working pastor, the book includes practical examples and tools to help readers imagine their part in God's mission.
