Beginning with Genesis, the Bible is the story of God pursuing his people. In this study guide, you'll explore how God reaches out--through Jesus and through human ambassodors like us. You'll discover that the call to "missions" is not for a select group but is a part of God's call to every Christian. And you'll begin to understand your own part in God's plan. This LifeGuide Bible Study features questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection. Leader's notes are included with information on study preparation, leading the study and small group components as well as helps for specific Bible passages covered in the study. Presented in a convenient workbook format and featuring the inductive Bible study approach, LifeGuides are thoroughly field-tested prior to publication; they're proven and popular guides for digging into Scripture on your own or with a small group.

Excellent resource!,
By
This review is from: Missions: God's Heart for the World (Lifeguide Bible Studies) (Paperback)
The nine studies in this guide provide an overarching view of the subject of the heart and priorities of God, from Genesis to Revelation. Practical questions that stimulate discussion. We used it as a team book for a 9-day mission trip; probably the best resource I've used for this purpose in 20 years. I recommend it highly!

Fresh Bible Study in Mission,
By
This review is from: Missions: God's Heart for the World (Lifeguide Bible Studies) (Paperback)
Once again, Paul Borthwick provides us with a solid piece introducing us to God's heart from the scriptures. I believe all will enjoy this fresh study using a whole new set of texts from which to understand God's work in the world.
5.0 out of 5 stars
It's not just the Great Commission,
This review is from: Missions: God's Heart for the World (Lifeguide Bible Studies) (Paperback)
This book does an excellent job of taking the concept of missions out of the box of a few New Testament passages and showing that God's care for the world is a theme throughout Scripture. From passages such as Genesis 3, Psalm 96, Jonah, Philippians, to Revelation, the studies expand the reader's view of God and His plan. There are good questions from the Bible reading and then challenges to connect with our own lives. An additional passage is added for more depth.
I was lent this book by a church friend and decided we needed to get this presented at our church. I am teaching a Sunday School class using it, but it would also work well as a personal devotion or small group study. I heartily recommend it.
