Drawing on over 20 years of cross-cultural ministry experience, Don Edwards offers an insightful look at literacy's key role in building a strong, healthy body of believers. Edwards looks at the crippling effects of illiteracy, examines Scripture's view of literacy, and explains literacy's value as a door-opener in communities that are resistant to traditional evangelism.\u003cbr\u003eThe Great Commission commands us to \"go and make disciples of all nations.\" Likewise, we are called to fulfill the Great Compassion: \"Love your neighbor as yourself.\" Both are expressions of Jesus' love for people. Readers will be challenged to share the gift of literacy as a tangible act of obedience to Jesus' two \"Great\" commandments. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon Edwards first visited India in 1984. The very first morning of that trip on October 31, the Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, was assassinated. From that moment, God planted the nation of India in Edward's heart. This eventually led to his involvement in overseeing church planting efforts with indigenous missions and churches for the last 14 years. Edwards has a Doctor of Ministry degree in Missions and Cross-Cultural Studies from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and a Masters of Religious Education degree from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 156\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 27, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50392101028077,"sku":"9780878084623","price":18.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/rKpaFwE2kV9780878084623.webp?v=1785820567","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-au\/products\/is-hearing-enough-literacy-and-the-great-commission-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
