Not Weary of Well Doing

Description

Not Weary of Well Doing is a collection of essays penned by people interested in educating primarily European church leaders, theological educators, and missionaries as well as other Christian leaders from around the world. All of the authors are related to the ministries of Tyndale Theological Seminary, the Netherlands. This book is in honor of missionary scholar and colleague, Dr. Cecil W. Stalnaker, for his lifetime of Christian service in Europe. Each of the articles is related to the work of missions or local church ministry. Most of the authors have many decades of experience primarily as missionary professors throughout Europe as well as pastoral ministry experience in Europe and North America. Local church leaders and cross-cultural workers especially will find this a worthwhile addition to their personal and school libraries.
