Book Description

January 1, 2007
'Worth Keeping' is more than worth just reading. I urge church and missional leaders to reflect on the research and absorb the principles contained in this important volume. I am convinced if we put into practice its recommendations we will see more effective missionaries who feel valued as servants of the living God. 'Worth Keeping' should be required reading for all mission leaders and local church mission teams. -Geoff Tunnicliffe, International Director, World Evangelical Alliance, Canada


Editorial Reviews

Review

'Worth Keeping' stands in a line of very significant books produced by the WEA MC. This may well prove to be the most important of them all. It is rare to find such a combination of research rigor and practical application. Every person involved in mission and leadership, whether at national, field or international level, needs to read this vital book carefully. If you only read one book on mission this year, make sure it s this one. --Dr Paul Bendor-Samuel, International Director, Interserve, UK

This well researched study produced by the WEA Mission Commission reveals many shocking conclusions and suggestions for corrections. It can show us the way forward in missions with greater meaning as we both place and nurture great commission practitioners. I am grateful for Bill Taylor and Rob Hay for their hard work to awaken us to the realities of retention of our brothers and sisters who sacrifice enormously to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth. This book will become a benchmark of success in both attrition and retention as we look into the future of missions. --Dr. K. Rajendran, India Missions Association & Chair, WEA Mission Commission, India

Here is an elegant combination of serious research and deep reflection in a critical area. This is a book for all Christian leaders who are serious about sustained and effective cross-cultural mission. If you appreciated 'Too Valuable to Lose', you will value this new book, 'Worth Keeping'. --Patrick Fung, General Director, OMF International, Singapore
