Praise for the First Edition

"No introduction to the global phenomenon of missions has been as up-to-date, or, in many a day, as thorough and well organized as this superb volume by three outstanding missions scholars."
--Ralph D. Winter, William Carey International University

"This foundational volume is comprehensive, contemporary, and challenging. It speaks to the issues and concerns of the current student generation and introduces the reader to every major facet of the missionary enterprise. Well-chosen case studies, helpful diagrams, and attention-grabbing sidebars supplement the well-written text. Sections on encountering missions as a candidate, a sent one, and a sender make this book an outstanding text for an introductory missions course as well as an invaluable resource for prospective missionaries and local church leaders. I recommend it highly."
--Kenneth B. Mulholland, Columbia Biblical Seminary and School of Missions

"An up-to-date textbook introducing the subject of Christian world missions from an evangelical perspective. . . . [The text is] not only readable but attractive in layout, broad in content, balanced in perspective, and in a teacher and student-friendly format. . . . The authors succeed in striking a balance between the extremes of oversimplification in brevity and overload with detail, thus providing the ideal textbook for an introductory course on Christian world missions. This reviewer has used the text in such a course and students have also been enthusiastic. In this regard Moreau, Corwin, and McGee have commendably achieved their goal and met a genuine need. There is simply no other textbook that compares with it."
--Craig Ott, Trinity Journal

"A remarkable textbook containing the history of missions (biblical and modern era); a thorough guide to candidacy and choosing an organization; a discussion of personal and family life for missionaries; and a philosophical discussion of the current trends in (and future of) missions. . . . [An] educational and practical resource for missions pastors and would-be missionaries."
