George Verwer doesn't pull any punches in his heart's cry for a 'grace-awakened' approach to mission. Cutting through superficial spirituality, he has managed to write a remarkable book that is both humble and hard-hitting. OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE should only be read by those who are willing to accept God's grace, catch His vision and respond with action in the world of mission.
George Verwer, the founder and current international director of Operation Mobilization (OM), writes this book after 40 years of trying and motivating kingdom work. Having worked with so many people (over 100,000 people have been through OM since the late '50s) from all over the world (over 60 nationalities represented within OM) his insight and knowledge into world missions are pratically unmatched today. The cornerstone of this book is the need for a more 'grace awakened' and balanced approach to world missions. Mr. Verwer clearly spells out simplistic and encouraging solutions to many of the key issues facing the church today, such as: tensions between being and doing, leadership, using only nationals as missionaries, and many more.
