Co-authors Juan Francisco Martínez, PhD, and Jamie Pitts, PhD, AMBS Associate Professor of Anabaptist Studies, joined the AMBS Library and Bookstore team for a conversation about their new book, "What is God’s Mission in the World and How Can We Join It?" (Herald Press, 2021).

Their book is available now through the AMBS Bookstore (or through many other outlets): https://ambs.populiweb.com/router/bookstore/items/196261/show
