Book Review: To the Ends of the Earth by Haykin and Robinson

I really enjoyed this title. This book is missions focused and written much like a biography focusing primarily on Calvin's missional influence over time. Apparently those who are referred to as Calvinist's are wrongly regarded as people who do not believe in missions. This book records accurate history to show that this is not the case.

I found myself encouraged to read the accounts of each of these mission's focused people. Those who have gone before us should encourage and embolden us to move forward in our faith and this book helped shine that brightly. It encouraged me to pray more fervently for missions, to be more bold in going forth and to support those who go to the ends of the earth.

I love that this book also cleared up the fact that those who are referred to as Calvinist do have a passion for missionary work. Believing in God's sovereign will and Him choosing a people for Himself does not mean we are to disobey a primary command given by Jesus Himself for us to go forth and make disciples of all nations. This should not be a source of division in the body of Christ when looking to those who are reformed in their faith.

This is a good read and if you are interested in missions and history of the reformed faith then I think you will enjoy this title. It was not a complicated read and flowed easily from one thought to the next.

I received a copy of this book free of charge from Crossway for the purpose of an honest review.
