Authors from eighteen countries give us their perspectives on biblical principles and cultural expressions of spirituality particularly as the church engages in God’s mission. The anthology of texts enriches our understanding of the depth and the meaning of being spiritual and the diversity of forms to live out the Christian faith. The issue today is how spirituality should direct and guide a daily life as followers of Jesus in the engagement in the mission of God. No doubt that it has to do with our inner life and our relationship to God, but it is in showing our love and concern to others that we prove our love to God, according to the Apostle John (1 John 4). Mission without spirituality will only be a human effort to convince people of religious theories. Spirituality without a missionary involvement of the church will not express God’s desire that the transforming gospel reaches every person. This book will help you rethink your understanding of what is spiritual, revisit your own spiritual journey, and appreciate the different forms of spirituality as they are described and performed around the globe.

Über den Autor
Geoffrey W. Hahn accepted Christ at a young age, and when he was a teenager God called him to cross-cultural missions. He completed his BA at Wheaton College, MDiv at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and doctorate at Denver Seminary (with a thesis on cross-cultural partnerships). Geoffrey’s Scottish wife, Fiona, is a nurse by training and holds a Master’s degree in public health. Her ministry focus is on compassionate ministry that protects and empowers populations that are marginalized or vulnerable to exploitation. Geoffrey and Fiona’s sons, Greg and Gabriel, and daughter-in-law, Kandace, are all serving others with the unique gifts and skills God has given them. In mission leadership Geoffrey has served as both country and area director and on SIM’s International Leadership Team for twelve years, currently as Deputy International Director. Along with geographic leadership responsibilities for North, Central, and South America, Geoffrey also provides global leadership for partnerships and mobilization, and for diaspora, sports, and business-based ministries.
