Synopsis

The Great Commission is not just for professional clergy; it is a charge to every follower of Christ—ordinary Christians like you and me.Bob Roberts Jr. urges disciples of Jesus to reclaim their role in God’s transforming work around the globe. In Real-Time Connections, Roberts illuminates the ways that Christians from all walks of life can use the everyday associations of their work for the service of God’s kingdom.It’s an ancient idea in a new global reality. The growth and influence of the first Christian communities came from people of every vocation. Today’s global economy offers followers of Jesus opportunities to interact with nations and people groups once accessed only by remote missionaries.Real-Time Connections helps readers shed preconceived notions of what it means to “go into all the world” for Jesus, equipping them with practical guidance and encouraging them with firsthand stories of real people doing just that. Readers can discover their vital role in expanding God’s kingdom around the globe using skills and talents that they already have.

Goodreads review by Justin on March 05, 2013

The book was a good way to start thinking about the ways we can connect ourselves to ministry both locally and globally, or as the author calls it, "glocally". The book had some good points, but seemed to jump around a bit haphazardly from chapter to chapter. You really could read it more as a colle......more
