Summary
“What on Earth is God Doing” by Randy Young was written “to inspire all of God’s people to personally own God’s one mission, to purposefully engage in that mission daily, and then live to passionately spread His glory to the ends of the earth.” (Page 1) Presenting snapshots of missions from biblical, historical, and cultural perspectives, the author invites us to a deeper understanding of the centrality of God’s mission and our role in it, involving both theory and practice. Throughout the book, the author addresses common misunderstandings around missions and provides a course correction back to the worldview of a follower of Jesus first and foremost. For example, he challenges us to break out of cultural biases and love our Samaria surrounding us. He encourages us to become World Christians who incorporate five habits (pray, give, go, welcome, and mobilize) into our daily lives to take part in reaching the world with the gospel, including these habits in a missional lifestyle and community. He challenges us to make a difference by sharing our faith by becoming more actively engaged rather than a passive observer.
