Biblical Servanthood: The Lifestyle and Landscape of Christian Service
Nathaniel Loren Palmer

The Gospel makes a clear distinction between biblical servanthood and any other type of servanthood by proclaiming that because of Christ and through the Holy Spirit, a shift in our focus has occurred from serving ourselves and our own ...

Liked it
I dont take the time to leave a lot of reviews, however I liked this short. So I hope people will take my review to heart. I generally dont like reading books involving religion as I've found those books often try to push beliefs upon you. This is not one of those books. If self-help style books interest you, I would recomend this book. But let me state it is not written in self-help ...

Cross-cultural Servanthood: Serving the World in Christlike Humility

9 reviews
Duane Elmer

InterVarsity Press, 2006

Life Changing
Because of the way I was raised, my ESL training, and my experiences in Africa, it may be that I am actually better at "other world cultures" than the subtle but shattering differences in what the author refers to as "home culture." For me, this book is as much about relationships as it is about serving other cultures. The author's willingness to expose his own shortcomings on this subject ...

Rather than move to a post-Christian stance, the text argues for a reinterpretation of what one is called to be in Christianity and suggests that friendship and freedom both are better expressions of the Christian experience ...
