Into All The World | Travis & Teri Snode

I am almost ashamed to admit that I just finished reading From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya for the first time.  I feel like I should have read this book a decade ago!  But, at any rate, I am glad I have finally read it. The book is a biographical history of Christian missions.  It tells the […]

Matthew Recker is a church-planter in New York City who has faced the challenges and fears of one of the biggest cities in the world.  He has planted several Baptist churches in the city.  His book Behold the City is described as “a realistic and hard-hitting look at the vast needs of the city and […]

Building Your Leadership Resume is a book of 40 short chapters.  Each chapter examines a different aspect of leadership by Pastor Johnny Hunt of First Baptist Church of Woodstock, GA.  The book covers topics from a leader’s passion and the insecure leader to the leader’s spouse and the leader’s assistant. I really found this book […]

Pastor Billy Wallace from Trenton, Georgia gave me a copy of I Saw the Welsh Revival by David Matthews while we were on the UK Vision Tour in June of this year.  While on the tour, we actually visited the church where the Welsh revival began in Lougher, Wales. It was exciting to read the […]

When Teri and I went on our 10th anniversary get-away, I took Ten Secrets for a Successful Family with me.  It had been on my shelf for a while. In the book, Pastor Adrian Rodgers looks at how the ten commandments can be applied to the home.  He uses a good balance of Scriptural teaching […]

Living in Ireland, sheep are a very common sight all around.  They fit in well with the hilly, grassy terrain.  Not having been a shepherd, I miss some of the impact of the many shepherd and sheep analogies in the Bible.  A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by Phillip Keller was given to me by […]

A few months ago, a man in our church gave me a copy of Ordering Your Private World by George MacDonald.  To be honest, I did not take much notice of it until a few weeks ago.  As I began to read, I realised that the author had experienced many of the same things I experience: […]

While is Moulton, England, two weeks ago, we went to Carey Baptist Church where William Carey, the father of modern missions, first pastored.  Here in the cottage near the church, must of Carey’s vision for the world began.  We saw the actual cottage and a reconstruction of the original map he made of the world, […]

One of the most thorough books on church planting I have ever read is Aubrey Malphurs book Planting Growing Churches. Reasons why I like his book: It gives a comprehensive look at the church planting process from the preparation stage to the reproduction stage of another church. It has a good balance of general principles […]

  I just finished reading Missionary Methods by Roland Allen.  This was a book that my pastor recommended to me a long time ago, but I just finished it.  I really enjoyed the book, especially because there are many helpful insights into how Paul was able to establish indigenous churches in such a short amount […]
