The Man, The Message, The Mission
By Darrin Patrick (Crossway)
A 2011 Outreach Resource of the Year

“We join Jesus on His mission not because we want to grow our church or because we like to dispense apologetic insights to skeptics or even because we like to hang out with unbelievers. We go on the mission of the Savior because we share the compassionate heart of the one who sees people as sheep without a shepherd.” —Darrin Patrick, from the book
