This book is written to give the reader a look a missions. It is not an exhaustive work nor does it cover all areas. It does give the reader a glimpse into history and the history of missions. This of course is done in a back drop of the Seven Churches of Revelation. The reader will get a basic understanding of missions and our responsibility to missions as revealed in the "Great Commission." We understand the relationship of the Church and missions today in that wherever the believer is, is the mission field. This is not something that simply can be covered by an offering. This is a way of life and a way of thinking for the believer. The reader will see some of what are considered the great missionaries in our history. They can like Paul say that they are families who have hazarded their lives for the cause of Christ. Acts 15:26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
