<p>"A masterful examination of the Puritan's positive attitude toward missions and evangelism, showing their passionate desire to seek the salvation of the lost. Through the writings of five notable Puritans: Richard Sibbes, Richard baxter, John Eliot, Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards, Rooy explores Puritan missiology in its theological foundation, its development and establishment, and its progress. Individuals and churches alike will be inspired by this historical and theological survey of magisterial Puritans." - Joel Beeke\n"Of excellent quality throughout, this volume traces out the theology that leads to the evangelization of the world: divine sovereignty and human responsibility, conversion, and the role of the church in missions. The biographical sketches enhance the volume. This is all rich material. Highlights for me are the practical section on evangelism from Richard Baxter's 'A Christian Directory' and the preceptive analysis of Jonathan Edwards' book 'A History of Redemption,' which the author suggests is perhaps Edwards' best claim to originality in theology. I commend this volume highly." - Erroll Hulse</p>

<p>Planting Healthy Churches is the centerpiece of an international course. It is provided by Multiplication Network Ministries (MNM) as a free downloadable resource for Bible colleges and seminaries. The authors, from different denominations, write with church planting experience in different countries and with a background in training and teaching thousands of students and church planters. MNM is also providing PowerPoints to accompany the book and a whole suite of practical training manuals for those desiring to move from the academic to the practical. A foundational premise of this work is that the world needs more churches and stronger churches that bear witness to the coming Kingdom of God. Planting churches is not only a biblical task, but also a very strategic one as the Church participates with the Holy Spirit in God’s work of renewing all things in Jesus Christ for the Glory of God. God’s end vision is nothing less than a new heaven and a new earth (Isaiah 65; Rev. 21). Through church planting, the new communities of faith become an instrument, sign, and foretaste of the Kingdom of God as a demonstration plot of faith, hope, and love of Christ’s sovereign and redemptive reign over all creation. Its mission is to faithfully participate with God as ambassadors of the Kingdom to promote the kind of transformation that only He can bring and the world so desperately needs.</p>
