Religion Versus Empire?: British Protestant Missionaries and Overseas Expansion, 1700-1914
The author went around to many different churches around the country and interviewed the pastors and missions pastors. He highlighted (what he believed to be) the churches that were the best at doing missions in the country and what made them unique. He throws in the baseball theme to spruce the book up, but it isn't that pervasive.
There are good insights, but the book does cater to larger churches. Many of these churches have well over 1,000 members attending. The last two chapters list off a bunch of churches that would receive an honorable mention status. The appendix lists off a bunch of good missions books that are worth reading.
Overall, I liked the book for giving more insights to how different churches do missions, but I was also happy as to the brevity of the book. After a while, it seemed like many of the churches were doing the same things to promote missions (such as sending pastoral staff overseas, doing a perspectives course, and going to missions conferences). I recommend the read to lay-leaders, pastors, missionaries, and college students majoring in the ministry.
