«This book calls us back to our roots. For the past several centuries, Christian missions - infused with cultural values that are antithetical to the Gospel - have been tainted and compromised by their ready identification with the power and the glory of Christendom. Over time, we have been lulled into imagining that God's strength is made perfect in the military superiority, economic strength, political ideologies, and managerial prodigies of the West. With his careful attention to the teachings and practices of Jesus and earlier generations of his followers, Paul Yonggap Jeong takes us back to the crossroads and invites us to walk in the ancient paths. This book should be required reading for all current and would-be missionaries, and those who train and support them.» (Jonathan J. Bonk, Executive Director, Overseas Ministries Study Center; Editor 'International Bulletin of Missionary Research')
«The idea of acknowledging our weakness before God and accepting our assignment as servants of his Kingdom should not be so novel. The biblical record endorses the concept from creation in Genesis through to the redemptive purposes fulfilled in Revelation. It is also true of mission history from the first to the twenty-first centuries. Paul Yonggap Jeong provides an insightful treatment of the position of weakness from which God is calling us to serve today. As we consider the truly global mission of God, Jeong gives us a vital missiological perspective for our service together.» (C. Douglas McConnell, Dean and Associate Professor of Leadership, School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary)
