Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take

Perspectives on the World Christian Movement

Ralph D. Winter · 1981
85/100
👍 Worth It

This is the foundational anthology for evangelical missiology — four decades of use, 10,000-plus students a year trained through its companion course, and contributors like John Piper and John Stott ensure both breadth and authority. If you are serious about world missions or cross-cultural ministry, there is simply no comparable single-volume resource. Its Protestant evangelical framing is a feature for its intended audience, not a flaw.
