| An important book for a perspective-adjusting view of worldwide Christianity. We Westerners (read, mostly Americans) tend to think our world is THE world and we represent the view and experience of the rest of the world -- or at least, that our view and experience is the correct and most progressive of the rest of the world. Fact is, the rest of the world has a much different perspective. Into that rest-of-the-world reality, Christianity is growing at a staggering pace. Reading this book made me grateful that the corruption and apostasy of the molding Western Church is not the world's norm. Thanks be to God, His people are strong, vibrant, healthy and growing. We have all heard about the fact that the Church is now more brown, black, and yellow than white, but the statistics and facts presented and the outlook for the non-western Church is startling and exciting. This should be required reading for all clergy and those interested in the direction the Church is taking in our modern world. |
