This book tells the story of Americans’ colossal mobilization to proclaim Christianity “to the ends of the Earth,” a movement that triumphed in the Global South, challenged the Vatican, then turned east in full force after 9/11 to spread the Gospel among Muslims. When the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq set off a wave of anti-American attacks and made the field too dangerous for US missionaries, thousands of disciples, particularly from Latin America, were mobilized to finish the task.

How did slavery figure in God’s plan? Was it the providential role of government to abolish this sin and build a righteous nation?

Yet God calls the church to stand firmly committed to racial reconciliation—and for each one of us to make choices that lead to healing.

Lydia Sohn was a serial burn-it-down-and-make-a-fresh-start girl until, when in her late twenties, she encountered the Rule of St. Benedict with its vow of stability, and her world was transformed.

Here pushes back against our age of constant reinvention and the cultural message that we should do whatever it takes to get wherever we want to go.
