Endorsements of Joy to the World

"Phil presents the Christian mission, not just as a solemn obligation but as a joyous celebration; not just as a Christian commitment but as a driving fulfillment. Read it and, to borrow C. S. Lewis' phrase, you will be "surprised by joy!" Dr. David J. Hesselgrave, former Professor of Missions, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, IL.

"In fresh, easy-to-read language, Phil converses with readers about mission joy--bringing JOY TO THE WORLD by bringing Christ to its people. This special book will help you catch joy in mission and challenge you to become a world Christian." Dr. Ed Westcott, former Executive Director, Board for Mission Services, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.

"Passionate commitment to winning souls for Christ is the Christian's primary mission. Joy to the World sounds this clarion call in stories and experiences, simple explanations and scriptural connections, in study and thought questions, in challenges to learn and do more." Dr. Glenn O'Shoney, Executive Director, Board for Mission Services, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
