The church follows its mission only when God's nature is in mind, not through programs or flyers or cards. If the church is not motivated by foundational, theological convictions, the church will blindly run to cool trends instead of focusing on God and His purposes. In Missio Dei, the authors guide their readers through a reflection of theology and an understanding of God's mission, while pointing out ways in which we can participate in the Mission of God.Missio Dei contains essays by several church leaders, including Thomas A. Noble, Douglas S. Hardy, and Roger L. Hahn. Edited by Keith Schwanz and Joseph Coleson, this book reveals a clear understanding of what it means to be a missional church, a devout individual, and a participant in the mission of God.
