For part of my sabbatical I'm reading (with a view to reviewing) this excellent book:
The reason for this is that while excellent (so far at least - I'm about a quarter through) I've been wondering in recent years whether some of the issues we observe in mission work broadly, and student ministry specifically, is quite directly influenced by some of the conclusions that Chris Wright points to, implicitly if not explicitly. We'll see. It's at least for my own thinking and learning, but I'm gently hoping it might prove useful in our wider organisation.
I've decided to post the occasional bit of the review here rather than only putting it all down in one larger article. This is partly for my benefit but some people might be curious.

Looking forward to the review posts. Btw, you might be interested to follow a friend of mine who writes a lot about mission - at www.kouya.net
Can't wait to keep up with your thoughts! Thanks for sharing!
