Hearing Christ's Voice: Living and Proclaiming the Gospel in an Embattled World

Do our lives keep others from hearing the good news of Jesus? People can have the gospel of Jesus Christ preached to them endlessly, but only when they see His saving power lived out before them will they truly hear Jesus' voice. So contends missionary Kelly Malone, a daily observer of spiritual darkness as he serves on the front lines of bearing Christ's message to Japan. Despite centuries of gospel advancement into the darkest corners of the globe, still no more than 10 percent of all the people in the world's population believes in Jesus as God the Son, Savior and Lord. Malone contends that the clearest announcement of the gospel truth is a life transformed by its power. Only through us will they hear. Hearing Christ's Voice reveals a myriad of radical ways to modify our lives so we can demonstrate that Jesus is fully present in us.
