The Best Book on Missions

Read the book of Acts and write out all the principles of missions you can find there. Consult it often.

There are many missionary classics out there: biographies, textbook types, fire-us-up books, etc. They will keep coming, because publishing must be funded. The best text is the transitional book of Acts--filled with all of the above, authored by the Holy Spirit, and containing a "choose your own ending" ending that we are choosing to ACT out, right in this moment! I know it’s not good hermeneutics to apply everything in Acts to current situations. It tells us what happened, not necessarily what is supposed to happen. But there is no better source for pioneer missions.
