In his dying days, William Booth sent a telegram around the world to encourage his Christian soldiers containing one word: others.Others challenges us to build a church that constantly seeks to live for others. Drawing on Jonah's life, Yuill shows that intimacy with God and involvement with others are inextricably bound, and that refusing to love and serve other people is to ignore God. This is ultimately a book of great encouragement. Those who are willing to accept its challenge and journey beyond their comfort zones to engage with a culture in desperate need will find it an essential map.
What a challenging book! I love the combination of bible study (I've learnt loads about Jonah) and practical application and it's certainly given me lots to think about. I think I need to talk to my church leader about some of the ideas in the book!!
