EDITORIAL REVIEW

The power of the gospel to transform individual lives has been clearly evident throughout New Testament history. But what of the darkness and poverty that enslave entire cultures, even nations? Have Christians underestimated the power of God's truth to transform entire societies?

In Discipling Nations, Darrow Miller builds a powerful and convincing thesis that God's truth not only breaks the spiritual bonds of sin and death but can free whole societies from deception and poverty.

Discipling Nations will challenge, reenergize, and reequip Christians everywhere who labor to see "His kingdom come, His will be done."

Discipling Nations traces an idea from philosophical foundations to how it manifests in peoples lives and in the physical world. He charts a course for changing the world begining with the local church embracing the whole counsel of God and applying this biblical world view to all of life. He shows how truth, love and God's power come together to transform all of reality.

valuable ideas, poorly presented

He should have a better author present his ideas. It is a needlessly painful read but worth it. If you want to make a difference in the world it's never going to be easy, so I still say you should read it.

Missonaries is what made this nation Great

If more people read this they would see the need for everyone to do apart in telling the whole world about Jesus. God leaves people who believes and ask Jesus Christ in to their heart on earth just for this reason so they can tell others. If this wasn't needed he would take people to Heavan as they get saved!

Esoteric yet immently practical!
~ Written on Jul 14, 2004. 11 out of 12 users found this review helpful.

Darrow Miller combines the ethos of practical Relief & Development work with the esoteric philosophy of Worldview. The end result is a through understanding of the philosophy, while providing a framework that allows one to apply these principles to your own everyday life and teach them to others. This "transformation by knowing the truth" is truly an idea that has consequences.

This book is a must read for anyone remotely interested in Missions, Community Development, Evangelism, or Apolgetics. Miller's message is transcultural, with equal application in a first world or a third world nation.

Buy TWO copies -- one for you and one for your best friend

This is a practical book. It offers easy-to-read text and plenty of illustrations. It is a good book for anyone wanting to understand what Christianity, discipling, and worldview have to do with everyday life. I have seen high school students and theologians discuss it with equal excitement.

It is written decidedly from a biblical perspective. If you want a book to make plain what others seem to muddle -- buy this book. Darrow Miller does an admirable job of unraveling 25-cent words used by others while never expecting the the reader to learn them. At the end of the book are a glossary, endnotes, and suggestions for additional reading to provide clear background to the book, and where to find more. If only it had an index.

Discipling Nations: The Power of Truth to Transform Cultures uses small words to provide plenty of historic truth. It might be the next best thing available to help Christians, churches, and schools understand why life is as it is, and how to explain it to others.
