What In the World Is God Doing?: The Essentials of Global Missions

Veteran missionary/missiologist C. Gordon Olson has distilled the essential facts of the Christian missions movement to produce an introductory text for all Christians, with the goal of developing world Christians.

It is marked by balance between theory and practice and has become a standard text in Christian
universities, seminaries, and colleges for almost three decades in seven editions. It covers five dimensions
of world missions: the biblical basis studied chronologically; the history of the missions movement,
including discovery of virtually unknown background of modern missions; a unique summary of world
religions; a contemporary overview of missions with 2010 statistics; and the functional importance of
mission agencies. It emphasizes vignettes of key missions personalities and includes 50 unique graphics.

It is endorsed by many outstanding leaders in the evangelical missions movement, including David J.
Hesselgrave, Marvin J. Newell, Steve Saint, Greg H. Parsons, and Robertson McQuilkin.
