The goal of missions, John Piper contends, is to bring the nations to worship the greatness and glory of God. But worship is not only the goal of missions, it is also what fuels missions. 'Passion for God in worship precedes the offer of God in preaching. You can't commend what you don't cherish. Missionaries will never call out, "Let the nations be glad!" who cannot say from the heart, "I rejoice in the Lord ... I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High."'

This book challenges the church at the beginning of the twenty-first century to rouse from slumber and take the gospel to every tribe and nation.

Contains two brand new chapters on the godly motivation for mission and the significance of Christian worship.
