Power Shifts - by Howard Foltz (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Despite what many believers think, taking the good news of the Gospel of Christ to the whole world isn't just a good idea or a suggestion. It's a decree straight from God and an act of obedience to His will in our lives. But many Christians let their evangelistic efforts and missions outreach be hampered by feelings of inadequacy, complacency, or confusion.

In this missions manifesto for the 21st century, Dr. Foltz reveals the essential power shifts that must take place to reinvigorate the church's approach to intentional evangelism.

Discover how to connect to the power of the gospel in your life like never before and bring it to unreached people groups both where you are and around the world!

Review Quotes

These seven thought-provoking chapters challenge us to reflect biblically, prophetically, and practically on our cherished mission worldview. Besides touching on practical strategies, this book gives a thorough, honest, biblical, and theological analysis of the subject.

Reverend Dr. Joshua Yee, Senior Pastor, Renewal Lutheran Church, Malaysia

Dr. Foltz has written a deeply probing, challenging book that dares us to face the realities of world missions. His book cuts like a finely honed double-edge sword. On the one side is a heart of compassion for the lost, and limitless energy toward the closure of the Great Commission. On the other side is a keen analytical mind uncovering divine laws he calls "power shifts" that, if obeyed, guarantee fulfillment of Jesus' command.

I have known Dr. Howard Foltz for over twenty years; first as a professor atRegent University and then as a missions mobilizer with AIMS. Power Shifts: Five Forgotten Strategies for Expanding God's Kingdom will challenge you to leave the status quo and find the new power shifts that are already happening in the mission field. We are entering the greatest harvest the Church has ever seen, and may we all have eyes to see the harvest before us.

Gordon Robertson, CEO, The Christian Broadcasting Network

Dr. Foltz never fails to inspire and provoke me to think more strategically. He recoils against a "mission status quo" in order to tirelessly fight for the unsaved who haven't heard. As you ponder the principles on these pages, I pray they will inspire and challenge you to see the unreached, the Church, and yourself like you never have before!

Matt Beemer, Founder & International Director, Club 1040

Dr. Howard Foltz has written a powerful and desperately needed book for the entire Body of Christ. Power Shifts is straight from the heart of God and a message that every single believer should read. Following the precepts in this book will take us from the Great Commission to the Great Completion.

Dr. Foltz brilliantly points out that we need far more than a paradigm shift within Christianity regarding the Great Commission. We must have five very strategic power shifts. Read with expectation and anticipation of God doing GREAT things in your life, He is waiting on you to respond.
