Partnering with God

God has an epic plan for the flourishing of all people and places. Want to join in?
Partnering with God will help you find your place in that quest as we join in building God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Mission is no spectator sport, and God invites our participation in the millennia old story of the missio Dei.
Lynette Edge and Gregory Morgan have lived and taught mission within The Salvation Army for many years. In these pages, they offer a missiological framework and practice in the West today from a Salvation Army perspective.
You will be challenged in these pages to think and live missionally. We are called to join a profound partnership with God to bring about the world as it was intended to be. Are you in?

""Partnering with God offers the best of missional theology and practice alongside the strengths and local stories of the Salvation Army. Written by two practitioner-scholars within the movement, this will become a standard text for Salvation Army mission and ministry training. It is also inspirational and accessible reading for others eager to learn what God is doing all around the world in different streams of the church.""
--Darren Cronshaw, Professor of Missional Leadership and Head of Research, Australian College of Ministries

""Lynette Edge and Gregory Morgan have given us a foundation and framework for mission in the twenty-first century. Drawing from their considerable research, frontline experience, and deep reflection, they offer a comprehensive profile of what it means to be a missional church in a diverse global world.""
--Phil Needham, author of Community in Mission: a Salvationist Ecclesiology

""This book prompts us to ask ourselves the difficult questions, spurring us on to be more missional Salvationists, and therefore a better Salvation Army. This book is a must for all Salvationists!"" 
--Casey O'Brien Machado, Territorial Social Justice Coordinator and Soldier, The Salvation Army Australia

""A must-read for everyone considering Salvation Army soldiership, and every soldier (including officers) reviewing their covenant. . . . A great resource for personal or small group study centered upon Salvation Army soldiership as a mission-focused life."" 
--Floyd J. Tidd, Commissioner, National Commander, The Salvation Army Australia
