This book was written for people who are considering a vocational call to missionary service. The "blinding light" refers to Paul's experience on the Damascus road where Christ met him and called him into service.
Burning Splendor
This short book is a theology of poverty, our way of understanding what Scripture says about our responsibility to the widow, orphan, and refugee. It looks at the revelation of God's heart for the poor through the eyes of Moses, the Prophets, and Christ.
