SPECIAL OFFER OF BOX LOTS OF BOOK: ONE WORLD OR MANY?

The Impact of Globalization on World Mission, Ed. Richard Tiplady, William Carey Library,
2003.

April 4, 2006

Dear Global Mission Colleague,

We greet you in the High Name of Jesus our King and Victor.

Due to a change in policy by our distributor, we are liquidating our remaining stock of a WEA Mission Commission signature book, One World or Many? The Impact of Globalization on World Mission. Normally retailing at $16.95, we are offering “box lots” of 34 books for US$149 (US$4.38 per book) plus shipping. This is the last time we will be offering this book at these deeply discounted prices. After this sale, this title will only be available through normal retail outlets at higher prices.

One World or Many? The Impact of Globalization on World Mission, edited by Richard Tiplady, has been well received since its launch in 2003. By utilizing the MC’s broad global constituency in authoring this work, it has proven to be a unique and important contribution to the discussion of globalisation and its impact on the mission’s enterprise. While there are many books on globalization, this is the only one that offers the Christian world mission perspective written by a truly international, global team.

This is the fourth in our “Globalization of Missions” series, which include: Too Valuable to Lose: Exploring the Causes and Cures of Missionary Attrition, (WEF/Wm. Carey Library, 1997); Global Missiology for the 21st Century: The Iguassu Dialogue, (WEF/Baker Books, 2000); and Doing Member Care Well (WEA/Wm. Carey Library, 2002).

We are please that the book is increasingly being used as a text in missionary training centres, Christian colleges and theological seminaries around the world. The value of this material for our global missional network is evident as our Latin American colleagues have taken the initiative to translate it into Spanish as a publishing project by COMIBAM.

KEY FEATURES

One World or Many? The Impact of Globalization on World Mission contains 16 chapters in 288 pages; is 7" by 10" in size, has a four-color cover, and is perfect bound.

The retail price of the book is US$16.95, but we again come to you with an extraordinary offer to buy this book at a significant savings of 75% off the list price when purchased in boxed lots of 34. Each book will only cost US$4.38, plus shipping. The total price is only US$149.

At this price, consider gifting it to missionaries, ministry colleagues and friends. This book will provide them with a great wealth of insight needed in today’s globalized world.

Contemporary discussions about globalisation tend to emphasize its political and economic aspects. But the social and cultural changes it is causing are pervasive, often unexamined, and for that reason all the more influential. It also sometimes (wrongly) assumed that globalisation is simply about the export of Western values and products worldwide. This book delves into these unexamined assumptions.

One World considers in detail the key drivers of globalisation, its current shape and the implications for world mission. It also looks at the impact of globalisation on different contemporary issues affecting mission, such as ethnicity, the environment, and global health, as well as its effect on more traditional 'missionary' questions of the world religions, contextualization, theology and the church.

This new work is written by knowledgeable authors from all over the world, including some new and distinctive voices that will have considerable influence into the future.

KEY AUDIENCES

As with all the books in our Globalization of Missions series, this volume is for the “reflective practitioners”, thinking women and men of action who serve God’s global cause either in their home country or in other nations. Its audience is church and national mission leaders, professors and students of theology and missiology, missionaries, agency leaders, relief and development workers, missionary trainers, and missions mobilizers—all those who must understand missions today.

COMMENDATIONS FOR "ONE WORLD OR MANY?"

This book is a sign of hope and a promise of what a carefully planned experience of global dialogue may mean for the future of evangelical mission work and missiological reflection. The authors' diversity explains the rich variety of styles, sources and examples used in their writing about globalization as the new context of mission in the world today. However, at the same time you will find a common thread of commitment to biblical truth and passion for its communication and application.
Samuel Escobar (from the foreword)

The aptness of the unchanging Good News of Christ to the present sophisticated world will never be understood if we do not comprehend the issue of globalisation and today's world. To be relevant in communicating Christ today, one cannot by pass this book of much effort. Thanks to Richard Tiplady and his team's effective and well researched works on this issue of globalisation.
