The book "Breaking Barriers: Reaching Your Neighbors in a Diverse Community" offers a fresh perspective on how to address the ongoing issue of ethnic and racial divisions in our world today.

Stefan reminds us at the very beginning that the answer to this problem lies in Jesus Christ, but we often let society influence our thoughts and actions, leading us away from the principles of Christianity and loving our neighbors.

When it comes to serving God, many of us are called to step out of our comfort zones and trust in the Lord's plan. The book, The Insanity of God, is a powerful testimony to this truth. Written by Nik Ripken, this book tells the story of his journey into the heart of faith and how he ended up serving in Somalia, one of the harshest and most hostile environments in the world.

On the surface, this book looks like it should be geared toward church and mission leaders, and it truthfully will be of great value to any in those roles.

But I think every believer will benefit from the mentality shift to approaching every single opportunity in your life as a missions opportunity, not relegating mission work to only the annual mission trip that your church does.
