When I was a young baby boomer growing up in Los Angeles and Inglewood, California, I felt "the maverick" in me. My favorite TV shows were the westerns of the 1950s and 1960s. I always admired the cowboys and gunslingers for their strong character and courage. Like them, I also was unconventional and independent and did not think or behave in the same way as my peers or others. Occasionally, I was rebellious and did not take orders readily. As I grew and became a man, I always felt confident in myself as a leader, and I rarely regarded others, especially my peers, as being my even change or equivalent. However, to become a real man, I needed leadership where I was weakest. So I often sought from adult men righteousness, truthfulness, boldness, faithfulness, loyalty, and authenticity. I needed a man with good strong character who told the truth and spoke to me in a language that I understood, not to discourage me or criticize me unfairly but to elicit from me my best traits. Honestly, I needed another maverick Christian to lead me away from destruction and into life. Perhaps you feel the maverick in you. Whether life is currently good, bad, or ugly, I invite you to experience my Christian journey of aligning with the ultimate high priest for all mavericks. Pray to God right now and ask Jesus to be your Savior! He is able to inspire the wildest of us.

This is a readable and entertaining account of the most colorful and eccentric missionary in nineteenth-century Japan, Jonathan Goble (1827-1926). Goble first visited Japan as a marine in Commodore Matthew C. Perry's expedition of 1853-54. He won acclaim in the official Narrative of the Expedition for befriending the Japanese castaway Sam Patch. After returning to Japan as a missionary of the American Baptist Free Mission Society, Goble translated more than half the New Testament into Japanese. His Gospel of Matthew is the oldest extant Scripture portion printed in Japan. He preached to samurai and merchants, to outcasts and the blind. Goble led an exciting life not only as a missionary but also as an interpreter, translator, writer, lecturer, inventor, merchant and builder. He rubbed shoulders with Iwakura Tomomi, prime minister; Yamanouchi Yodo, leading daimyo; Iwasaki Yataro, founder of the Mitsubishi financial empire; and other notables. Strong-willed and prone to violence, his maverick ways got him consigned to a Baptist limbo. In this work, the first biography of Goble, his fascinating life illuminates the strange world of Christian missions in nineteenth-century Japan.

Dr. George R. Knight is a man on a mission. He wants people to know by experience the riches of God's grace in Christ. It's to this end that Knight, a historian, has taught and written. Much of Knight's writing has been on controversial subjects, such as the Shut Door, the 1888 General Conference, and the 1901 reorganization of the church. In this book, you'll also find what he has to say about understanding and applying Ellen White's writings about last-generation perfectionism, about substitution and sacrifice as more than mere metaphors, and about Ellen White's counsels on lifestyle as based on principle rather than rigid literalism. Knight's writing is spicy at times-he has, for instance, a book named Myths in Adventism, a chapter in another book called "The Bible's Most Disgusting Teaching," and an article titled "Adolf Hitler and Ellen White Agree on the Purposes of Adventist Education." But Knight doesn't write merely to shock us. He shouts in print so we can hear above the noise of the world today what the past can teach us. Book jacket.

All Malawians know their national hero, the Rev John Chilembwe, who, in 1915, protested against colonialism with an armed uprising. To understand him, it is necessary to understand Joseph Booth, who baptized him and took him to America in 1897 to study for the Baptist ministry. There in America Booth published his Africa for the African to the intense dislike of the colonial administration. Booth was an Evangelical missionary, but a maverick among them. This book explores what made him the odd man out among his fellow missionaries by tracing his and his family's life in Auckland and Melbourne, arguing that his political involvement must be understood from his specific Baptist background.

The idea of writing this biography occurred while my late wife Fahmida and I were visiting my Unchle Zaheer in Bedford, England, in April of 2018. Due to Fahmida’s illness, I was unable to attend Uncle Zahir’ 90th birthday that was clebreated in Bedford England in 2015. But soon thereafter, I gave my promise to him that I will attend his 95th birthday in 2020, and will also write his biography that I’ll publish and present it as a gift at his birthday. I made a special trip to England in September of last year to interview him in depth and to collect data on the various milestones of his life. I was amazed at his cognitive abilities at 94 years of age. He readily recollect memories from the years gone by and has no problem n retrieving old information from the archives of his life. This simple biography is written by keeping it candid, relavant and concise and is intended for his children and grand-children to read and retain many of the life’s lessons that he has shared throughout his narritive that became the foundation for this biography of my uncle Pastor Zahir Massey.

The volume constitutes Klaus Fiedler's crowning contribution to scholarship. Essays in the first half of the book focus on Malawian Christianity and how contrasting Powers, Gospel and Secular, engage each other, creating social, political and cultural conflict in the process. In the second half, Fiedler examines general missiological themes. These essays provide a broader missiological background, offering a theoretical framework necessary for appreciating the essays in the first half. He concludes with a chapter that reviews selected seminal books on themes under study. Throughout the volume Fiedler applies the "restorationist revival theory" he constructed in The Story of Faith Missions, an earlier 1994 work putting emphasis on non classical missions and churches, not systematically covered in earlier scholarship. This volume, the first of its kind on Malawian Christianity, will long remain an indispensable text for those interested in Missiology and Malawian Christianity.
