The Great Omission by Dallas Willard 

The last command of Jesus was to go and make disciples.  We have responded by making Christians.  Willard challenges the idea that we can call ourselves Christians without applying our faith to every aspect of life.  This title includes sections on being apprenticed to Jesus; spiritual formation and the development of character; discipleship of sould and mind; and learning from classics on spiritual living.

Faith in the Future by Patrick Nachtigall

Calling Christianity "the only truly global religion," Patrick Nachtigall argues that globalization "is not only good for the global economy, it is absolutely fantastic for Christianity." Globalization gives the Christian church a golden opportunity to reduce poverty, educate people, enter into formerly-closed countries, and introduce Christianity into new cultures.

What of the future? Despite globalization's many benefits, the new levels of openness, wealth, and global interaction also give greater freedom to the hedonistic and exploitative nature of the human soul. For this reason, Nachtigall believes that issues of faith will become central concerns to the entire world. Terrorism, sexual slavery, urbanization, environmental degradation, religious persecution, and materialistic theologies bring new challenges that Christians must address. Faith in the Future invites us to look at the way the world is changing before our very eyes and challenges us to engage this brave new world for Christ.
