Description: Flourishing in the Land chronicles the exciting story of the Christian Reformed Church's ongoing efforts to present the unchanging gospel to an ever-changing North American society.

Produced in celebration of the Christian Reformed Church's 1996 centennial of Native America mission, this volume recounts the Christian Reformed Church's early efforts to reach the Navajo in America's Southwest, its program of Jewish evangelism, its Back to God Hour radio ministry, its outreach to the inner city and chaplaincy ministries, and its present-day efforts to develop new churches amid an increasingly diverse society of ethnic minorities and baby boomers.

Scott Hoezee's popularly written text, Christopher H. Meehan's vivid vignettes, and hundreds of photographs not only invite readers into the stories of the denomination's pioneer missionaries and of its current workers but also challenge readers to embrace afresh the spirit of Christ's Great Commission, bringing the gospel to all nations, beginning with the nation one calls home.
