The mission of God to "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19, HCSB) is a major target of spiritual warfare today. In this new book by International Mission Board president Jerry Rankin and noted missiologist Ed Stetzer, the authors call out Satan's ongoing strategy to convince Christians that the Great Commission is optional. Through deceit, he is eroding the authoritative mandate of Scripture, leading believers to tell themselves that international discipleship is a task better left to denomination and mission agencies-not the sort of kingdom work that every believer can do. https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Warfare-Missions-Battle-Nations/dp/080544887X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1567013559&sr=1-1
