Fulfilling Our Mission, by noted international evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, explores truths, stories, and principles from the Bible that show how to effectively reach out to others with the love of God and the salvation of Jesus Christ. Tens of millions of people came to know Christ through Bonnke’s ministry. He explains that there is no “right” approach in evangelism, only right principles. Bonnke illustrates these principles from the New Testament in a way that gives direction for action and inspiration to act: • God deeply loves all people. • He wants each of us to participate in reaching the world. • God equips the least likely individuals for His providential purposes. • Where the Holy Spirit provides the tiniest spark, a start can be made. • Evangelism is not an intellectual pursuit. It is a hands-on activity, a demand, a challenge, a commission, and a consuming passion! From biblical times to today, believers have claimed God’s promises and moved forward in faith. God’s Word is our authority for action and the secret to success in outreach that reveals Jesus to men, women, and children, and brings them into God’s eternal kingdom. Today, Jesus calls us to go into all the world and make disciples, demonstrating God’s great compassion. God not only accompanies those who are go-getters, but He also makes and equips them. With the Word as our guide, let us fulfill the commission Jesus gave us to reach everyone in the world with the message of His salvation!

How librarians can be radical positive change agents in their communities, dedicated to learning and making a difference. This book offers a guide for librarians who see their profession as a chance to make a positive difference in their communities—librarians who recognize that it is no longer enough to stand behind a desk waiting to serve. R. David Lankes, author of The Atlas of New Librarianship, reminds librarians of their mission: to improve society by facilitating knowledge creation in their communities. In this book, he provides tools, arguments, resources, and ideas for fulfilling this mission. Librarians will be prepared to become radical positive change agents in their communities, and other readers will learn to understand libraries in a new way. The librarians of Ferguson, Missouri, famously became positive change agents in August 2014 when they opened library doors when schools were closed because of civil unrest after the shooting of an unarmed teen by police. Working with other local organizations, they provided children and their parents a space for learning, lunch, and peace. But other libraries serve other communities—students, faculty, scholars, law firms—in other ways. All libraries are about community, writes Lankes; that is just librarianship. In concise chapters, Lankes addresses the mission of libraries and explains what constitutes a library. He offers practical advice for librarian training; provides teaching notes for each chapter; and answers “Frequently Argued Questions” about the new librarianship.
