Discipleship, says veteran missionary Rose Dowsett, cannot be divorced from mission. We have been born into a worldwide family and given both global privileges and responsibilities. The Great Commission must be the central element of the Christian life. This book is divided into three major sections, beginning with a look at the Great Commission itself and then tracing how the Commission has been enacted over the centuries since Jesus issued it to His followers. The book concludes with an examination of the many challenges facing modern missions including political, theological, social, and economic.
