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.

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!

A very select number of books in my library are categorised as "Life-changing" and this book is up there with the few of them. This is every Christian believer's mandate. Nothing more, nothing less.

We've discussed this extensively with my discipleship group and it has given us a clear vision on how to build and lay solid foundations in disciple making.

In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus' command to "Go and make disciples" was never optional nor reserved to an elite few. It is imperative that all of us obey. Rather than getting worried on being "Left Behind", let's go out there and don't be "Left out".

This book is not about Apostolic Mandate. Its about control. The author requires people to "submit" and "obey" them instead of having christians hearing God on their own. This book basically a continous teaching from the Shepherding Movement.
There are definitely better book out there than these. Try "Heavy Rain" by Kris Valloton or books by Bill Johnson or Apostolic Ministry by Rick Joyner. Who knows more about the Apostolic. Where it teaches against the Pecking order of the top leaders like Rice Brooks.
This book Apostolic Mandate expect people to be like a mindless Zombies. Who are not allowed to speak up against the top leaders or you are in total disobedience to God or to them.
There are defintely better books out there. And the only people I bet who endorses this book does not know their bible. The book is extremely shallow . Definitely Lack of spiritual depth. I would not recommend it. The book is more like a promotion of its own ministry rather than Promoting God or His Kingdom. Its more of self promotion and self recognition type book.

Rice Brooks lays out what all generations of Christians have been mandated to do. His challenge will we do in this generation, what past generations have not? It is my prayer that if you read this entry you would catch the vision of what has been wrote in this book.

If you are reading this you are probably in the Every Nation cult. Get out now.
PS this is not the Devil there are many great churches out there your just not in one of them now.

A book to control people how to live their lives . Thats what this Apostolic Mandate is about.
