Missionaries

Reading is always essential, as is learning from the successes and failures of other missionaries.  The following is a small selection of books from our Christian history, biography, research, and apologetics library.

Also, if you are wondering, I am Arminian in my beliefs, nor am I a Calvinist or a promoter of Replacement theology. ["Replacement theology (or supersessionism) is the belief that the Christian Church has replaced national Israel as God’s chosen people, fulfilling biblical promises meant for Israel spiritually."]

If you would like information about the dangers of Calvinism and Replacement theology (supersessionism), please obtain a copy of Dave Hunt's book or DVD, What Love Is This?: Calvinism's Misrepresentation of God. You can also glean much from Rob Congdon's book, How Calvinism Serves Satan's Purposes, and Calvinism: None Dare Call It Heresy, by Bob Kirkland.
