That passion is communicated in this timely book. Rev. Ray Comfort Author of Hell's Best Kept Secret No one articulates the mission message of the Heart of God like John Zumwalt. This book is fresh with illustrations that clearly bring God's Word to real life. You will be changed to a deeper walk with Jesus and a greater compassion for the lost. It is presented with zest and enthusiasm. It is a quick read that packs a huge punch. Here, missions is more than theory, theology or testimony.

This is it. John Zumwalt has made a significant contribution! Dr. Ralph D. Winter Founder, U.S. Center for World Missions President, William Carey International University As one who has been working to fulfill the Great Commission in Asia for nearly 35 years, one of my off-the-continent challenges (and sometimes frustrations) has been to promote the cause of missions. Passion for the Heart of God does just this and is, therefore, a very welcome tool and encouragement to me. Its informative statistics, facts and stories--yes, lots of great stories!--should get anyone excited and serious about God's passion! Rev. David Wang President, Asian Outreach International Ltd. A book full of surprises and fresh insights. Every chapter was chocked full of startling and exciting revelations! I will never read my Bible the same. You cannot help but read this and fall in love with our great God, reviving the excitement, conviction and zeal of first love. As a missionary, I can think of no better book to give my friends and family. Every pastor, mission committee member, every church member will find this book indispensable in discovering the plans of our God for this unique time in history! Name withheld Missionary in 'closed' country Passion for the Heart of God is empowering, inspiring and equipping. John Zumwalt is a forerunner of the missional part of God's heart. If you're hungry to know God's Heart and His desire for people all over the world to know Him, then reading this will be like throwing a match on gasoline. Charlie Hall Generation Music
