Entrance into the new decade has been a series of solemn plateaux, encompassing deserts of confusion, and valleys of heartbreak, and loss...Yet, dichotomously of introspection, redirection as well as reconnection to what matters most in this life, God and oneself and family and friends. Excerpt of Foreword by Author The CAGED EAGLE is a message of hope and inspiration for everyone who has experienced the harmful impact of social injustice, unexpected suffering and loss. This short-story is based upon true events of an American family growing up in an era when the "Land of the Free" was crying out for Freedom.

The author presents a message of ultimate victory through biblical references enabling every sufferer to triumph in every aspect of life including death through the power of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in eternal life.

Listening to the Voices of Global Practitioners In Christian mission, we cross boundaries between the people of God and the not-yet people of God, declaring ?[God's] glory among the nations? (Ps 96:3). Mission begins and ends in worship. In mission, we proclaim the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. We also care for the whole person. Thus, at its core, mission intertwines praise, word, and deed. This book represents the latest in missiological thinking. Though some contributors are scholars and even professors, most are field practitioners ?evangelists, church planters, Bible translators, medical professionals, refugee workers, and community development specialists. Based on decades of faithful service, they report on what they have learned about mission. Mission in Praise, Word, and Deed addresses a wide range of critical concerns, such as informal theological education, Bible translation, business as mission, trauma care, and working on multicultural teams. As we ponder best mission practices, it's wise to hear from global practitioners?those who have been at it for a long time. This book represents the diversity of the global church. They are men and women from Africa, Asia, Latin America, North America, and Europe who have served or presently serve in places across the world. These contributors share the conviction that the future of missions involves a growing global church and missionary workforce joining hands to complete the Great Commission amid severe opposition and disruption.
