The Caribbean: A Legacy of Love

The church engages in mission as it is formed and transformed by the triune God whose nature is missional. If the church is not motivated by foundational, theological convictions, the church can blindly run toward ’cool’ trends instead of focusing on God’s purposes. In Missio Dei, the authors guide their readers through reflections on a biblical and theological understanding of God’s mission, while pointing out ways in which we can participate in the mission of God.Missio Dei contains essays by several church leaders, including Ron Benefiel, Thomas A. Noble, Douglas S. Hardy, and Roger L. Hahn. Edited by Keith Schwanz and Joseph Coleson, this book reveals a clear understanding of what it means to be the missional church and participants in the Missio Dei.

Don Cox sat on a plank platform in the rain forest. The tarp tied to trees provided minimal protection from the elements. Omar, a leader of the gang that abducted Don, had just hiked down the mountain with a cassette tape recording of Don telling his family that the kidnappers wanted $500,000 for his release. Don broke down when he heard the demand. "You'll never get that kind of money," Don told Omar. "You might as well kill me now."
At the beginning of the second week, when Omar became frustrated with the slow pace of the negotiations, he asked the negotiator which of Don's hands he wanted, the right or the left. The police had recognized patterns in what Omar said and knew that previously this gang had cut off ears and fingers to punctuate their demands. These thugs would follow through on vicious threats.
When Don's friends who worked for his liberation confronted depravity head on, they reluctantly acknowledged that they had to intentionally wade into the escalating deception Omar had initiated. So they fabricated a story they desperately hoped would allow the police to trace the call, apprehend Omar, and liberate Don. But the strategy came bundled with an ethical crisis because of the deliberate lies. They violated deeply held convictions about always telling the truth in their effort to save a friend.
Shouts at Sunrise is the compelling story about a kidnapped missionary, threats of increasing brutality, friends entangled in deception, and a miraculous rescue.
