Find out, by reading Jesus’ words, how He made it possible for you to live out the four lifetime missions He has given you, starting today.
“…whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” —John 14:12, niv

Det finns en del värdefulla exempel i denna, och jag begär inte ny doktrin i varje bok om religion (snarare tvärt om; ny doktrin är oftare suspekt än helige andes intervention); däremot blev jag besviken av en ensidigt frikyrklig bok med extremt amerikanska (framgångsteologiska) exempel. Jag rekommenderar inte denna.

At times it showed promise but most of the time the information was base and at times not fully contextual. I would say this book was academic but not extremely informative.

The Jesus Mission appears in all the trappings of an action, here's-what-you-do, call out. The content disappoints by offering little more than a checklist. I can appreciate the intentions of the author and occasionally agreed with his point here and there, but overall the book fail to pay up on what the title promises. In large part the book feels--and the author encourages this--like it is a companion book to Scott's earlier Greatest Words.
That is not to say the book is not without merit. Throughout he focuses on the words of Christ in the gospels and often on many of the overlooked words; better yet, is when he hones in on pet scriptures and beliefs. Scott blows away the regular Sinner's prayer formula and metric for evangelism along with other conventional practices of Christianity. Centering the concept of being born again on Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus from John 3. Sadly enough this all takes place in Part One before Scott arrives at the eponymous missions.
Part Two, the missions Jesus gave to his followers, moves away from the biting honesty of the first section into more standard fare. The four missions summed up: Know (God), Grow, Fellowship, and Evangelize. Not much new turf there and the setup and layout for the section is poorly executed to the point that I began wondering if this was the same book I started in Part One. I peered at the cover; it was. Herein are Activities, Action items and other tidbits composed with all the elegance of and subtlety of a Muppet drummer. A sad fate for a book with a promising start to sputter and strain and ultimately falter and fall short; momentum, a terrible thing to waste.
The third and final section doesn't help either. This is the part which reveals the 27 missions of Christ as promised on the cover, but not yet. First Scott needs to go on a political tirade lampooning liberalism and all the while he is either convincing himself, or maybe trying to convince the reader, that this is applicable to the task at hand. Even when I agreed with him it was a grating agreement.
Finally when he gets to the missions there is a lot of repetition. These 27 "unique" missions could have easily been distilled into the essential 6 or 7 missions opening up space for more practical or in depth information, but no.
Throughout are little snippets and anecdotes that were worth reading but for all the muck and rocks the reader is forced to sift away there was little gold.

This book was provided by Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers as a complimentary copy for review purposes. They didn't even ask me to say all these nice things. They just produce good books.

This was an awesome book. I highly recommend it to Christians and non believers alike it made me think about a lot, and strengthened my resolve in what I already know and believe.
