Every Nation In Our Generation: Recovering the Apostolic Mandate [Paperback]

Rice Broocks (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 23, 2002

“Make Disciples of All Nations” In this book, Rice Broocks explains the progress of the Church in terms of its obedience to the apostolic mandate. This mandate, which has been called the Great Commission, must be recovered and embraced if the Church is going to get back into the race for the destiny of the planet. The orders of Jesus to His followers to "make disciples of all nations" is far more than simply giving people a basic gospel message. This mandate includes not only individual transformation, but cultural as well. About the author: Rice Broocks is the president of Morning Star International (MSI), a family of churches and ministries currently operating in 35 nations. He is also the senior pastor of Bethel World Outreach Center in Nashville, Tennessee, where he lives with his wife and their five children. He is the co-founder of Champions for Christ, a ministry to college and professional athletes, as well as the president of Victory Campus Ministries, reaching out to hundreds of university campuses around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh For Fire To Burn in the Church Again!, May 25, 2004

This review is from: Every Nation In Our Generation: Recovering the Apostolic Mandate (Paperback)

Remember the words of William Booth, John Wesley, George Whitfield, Jonathan Edwards, or Hudson Taylor? Probably not. That is because most "modern" Christians are caught up in the "How To's" of Church Growth professors and not truly seeking the presence of a holy and awesome God.

Thankfully God has raised up Rice Broocks. Rice leads Morningstar International Ministries out of Nashville, TN and his heart burns for God to be exalted among the nations in the spirit of Booth, Wesley, and Taylor. With this book he gives the Church a blueprint for radical evangelism of the nations. We must not lose the dream of seeing the nations won to Christ. We must not grow cold in our walks with God. We must love Jesus, burn with a fire for Him, and we must long for all nations to hear the gospel of our Lord.

This book will challange your prayer life, your walk with God, your hunger for revival, your love for the Word, and most of all it will challange you to make an impact in this generation for Jesus Christ. The world has yet to see what God can do with one man who is completely yielded unto Him.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Blueprint For Discipling the Nations, June 24, 2003

This review is from: Every Nation In Our Generation: Recovering the Apostolic Mandate (Paperback)

Read this book and then read Douglas Layton's My Father's Kingdom.
These two books go hand in hand with one another.
Rice Broocks presents a compelling argument on why and how
the saints should go into places that no one has ever gone
before. Rice presents a modern *Acts* story of how nations
are being changed today and thus provides a sort of a telescopic view
of what has happened where Acts closes and
what has been continuing to happen NOW. Although this is book
concentrates on the movement that Rice is involved in, it still
presents a great challenge to those would like to follow in
the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. Considering what Apostle
Paul accomplished in an era without satellites, email or jet
travel, Rice provides an answer (and also possibilities) to the question
at the back of peoples' minds : "What would the Apostle Paul accomplish
if he was living today". The last paragraph sums it all up for the would-be
reader - the end-time army is not going to be composed of wannabe
spiritual superstars but a multitude of faceless
unknowns who are anointed and apointed.
Read this at your own risk.
This could ruin your life for the better.
Readers of Rice first book "Change the Campus, Change the World"
will be familiar with his thesis : the campus is where it's at!
This books is a good summary of what has happened since he wrote
the first book and how valid his original thesis was.
Every CP should have this as a handy reference of what can be
possible.

Thanks, Rice, for this book full of substance of authentic New Testament Christianity!

I am inspired by guys like Rice who have been called and prepared uniquely by the Lord and aren't easily defined by man-made labels: denominational, etc.

The 'Church' especially in the west has gotten so far away from the basics of Christianity and our mandate to be about the work for God's Kingdom - to bring His Kingdom to bear- in our world. We have too often traded His power for programs, which are fruitless in fulfilling His mission personally and corporately as His people, the Church. This book has helped focus me on my #1 calling as a child of God and the realities and responsibilities of the teachings of the Word. It has made me long for more fellowship with a body that is focused on personally and corporately doing Jesus-model ministry. This is an anointed book!
