John Piper talking about missions
This book has many great pastors who wrote things in this book. But a missions book written by John Piper? Yes Please!!!!

Finish the Mission Adds Very Little New Thought
Whenever I pick up a Christian book, I am looking for it to teach me something new, inspire me, or both. This book did little of either for me. In all fairness, it may have something to do with the fact that I am not new to the concept of unengaged people groups. The Missions Committee on which I serve has been reading about and discussing unreached and unengaged people groups for a couple of years. I had hoped this book would add to what I already knew. Unfortunately, it added very little to my comprehension of the great need that is out there. In addition, I found the text to be somewhat disjointed, lacking in any real flow of thought. Perhaps this was due to the fact that each chapter was written by a different author. In the end, I feel like a three-star rating (okay) is justified. I did learn some new things, but I had expected more from a book influenced by John Piper.

This is a wonderful book encouraging missions
This is a wonderful book encouraging missions, both in the United States and outside of the US borders. The authors are all incredible, each adding an individual chapter on a specific topic/passion. This book would be great to use for personal reading, but would also be good to use for a group Bible study as well, as it includes many Scripture verses for reference.

A Truly Inspiring Compendium
This is a great collection of essays and talks from a national conference held in Minneapolis. While John Piper is listed as the author, understand that they messages/chapters in the book are from several speakers but they all do a terrific part in pulling together the picture and the power of global ministry and outreach. If books are not you best form of learning, these messages are also on the web in video format.

Why finish the mission?
I loved the book. I would recommend it to anyone with any sort of this thoughts towards missions. This applies to everyone on both ends of the spectrum, brand new to the idea of missions or looking at finishing Jesus commission in the flesh. These guys hit some big topics thoroughly but simply. It is a combination of pastoral teaching of the word and informing of the global mission field.

Missionary Perspective
I am a missionary in South America.I loved this book! It put a new fire in me for what I do. And I think this book is great for those interested in international missions on those already on the field. I was blessed by this book, and it holds a very powerful message from some of the most influential church leaders in the West.I highly recommend this book!

Excellent book on Holiness in your life
An excellent book on living a holy life. Holiness is not old fashioned. It is for us Christians, to apply to our lives TODAY. For all you Christians who think you are not keeping up with the times, this book confirms that we are on the right track in walking that narrow line. Not self righteous, Just living the life that God requires of us.

Mind Opening
I believe this book gives great answers to many objections as to why missions can be overrated. It would be a great read for missionaries anywhere that may be struggling with their call. I would also recommend to all pastors to help them have a heart for people everywhere.
