Looking for a trustworthy evangelistic resource for ESL outreach? Good News for All Nations is uniquely designed to teach the redemptive story of God's Word to one of the most dynamic, yet neglected mission fields of our time: international students and English language learners. This meaty handbook blends Bible discovery study methods (so that students see Biblical truth for themselves) with important explanations (so that learners understand what they are reading) to help the reader achieve maximum understanding of God's good news. In these eight lessons, students will learn the essential gospel truths about God the Creator, man the sinner, Jesus the Savior, and the need for repentance and faith. "This concise work provides both an arc of the Gospel story of Scripture and the simplicity of language needed to reach the young, the immigrant, and the seeker. This is the kind of tool that the increasingly diverse US evangelical church needs as we seek to minister the Gospel in a refreshingly historic way." ~ Philip Thompson, Online Learning Coordinator, The Gospel Coalition

English teaching is common in missions today. However, there has been relatively little discussion on what constitutes effectiveness in English ministries. This book aims to foster such discussion. It first addresses issues of concern in English ministries and then suggests criteria for effectiveness, considerations in teacher preparation, and models for the teaching of English in missions.

This unique resource teaches English (including ESL/EFL) within a Biblical context and in a pictorial format. It focuses on the top 1,000 most frequently used vocabulary words. It presents an overview of key pronunciation and grammatical concepts. At the same time, it teaches major parables, verses, narratives, and themes from Scripture. Also included are suggestions for classroom games, lessons and activities. This book is especially useful for: -English/ESL (English as a Second Language) students and teachers -Missionaries teaching ESL -Church personnel seeking to establish an ESL ministry -Parents who homeschool -Special Needs teachers -English/Bible teachers in public schools who are part of the Bible Literacy Project

The field of TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) stands at an active crossroads – issues of language, culture, learning, identity, morality, and spirituality mix daily in classrooms around the world. What roles might teachers’ personal religious beliefs play in their professional activities and contexts? Until recently, such questions had been largely excluded from academic conversations in TESOL. Yet the qualitative research at the core of this book, framed and presented within a teacher knowledge paradigm, demonstrates that personal faith and professional identities and practices can, and do, interact and interrelate in ways that are both meaningful and problematic. This study’s Christian TESOL teacher participants, working overseas in Southeast Asia, perceived, explained, and interpreted a variety of such connections within their lived experience. As a result, the beliefs-practices nexus deserves to be further theorized, researched, and discussed. Religious beliefs and human spirituality, as foundational and enduring aspects of human thought and culture, and thus of teaching and learning, deserve a place at the TESOL table.
