It strips ''mission'' of its old associations with colonialism and militarism. It looks anew at the underlying theology, reminding us that our task is God''s mission, not a human construct. It explores key aspects of contemporary mission, from the familiar - such as the relation of mission to evangelism, and to people of others faiths - to the unusual and thought-provoking - such as mission and the environment, justice for the poor, and the overcoming of violence.J.

I hope that a whole new generation  of Christians will be inspired to move beyond just reading  theology to doing it. -- Elaine Graham, Manchester University, UK\u003cbr\u003eI am very  pleased because, as a Latin American liberation theologian, I find myself fully  agreeing with Bishop Laurie Green's book. It is a book of authentic liberation  theology set within the English-speaking context, utilising the  same methodology both in theory and practice, in that it takes instances  of human experience, analyses them, reflects theologically and proposes  practical ideas for transformation. It is a book that invites you to do  theology, without disparaging the great tradition. Additionally it  provides a good summary of conventional theology and an excellent bibliography. I  enthusiastically recommend this significant little book. -- Leonardo Boff, Liberation Theologian, Brazil\u003cbr\u003eSo many Christians  today yearn to practice a faith that matters, a faith that is rooted in  context and in the dream  of God, a faith that changes lives and changes the world. Laurie Green  answers that cry in this powerhouse of a book. He moves beyond ivory tower  God-talk, mines decades of local and global ministry experience, and provides  ordinary Christians with the tools to do theology as a way of life. If  we're going to become the compassionate, hopeful people of God for a  fast-changing, hurting world, we need wise and courageous companions like  Green. We need this book. -- Rev. Stephanie Spellers, Author, Radical Welcome: Embracing God, The Other and the Spirit of Transformation. Priest and lead organizer, The Crossing community at St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, Boston, MA * www.thecrossingboston.org *\u003cbr\u003eNow a bishop in the Church of England, Green wrote the first edition in 1989 drawing on his 20 years of ordained ministry in Birmingham and his work with an educational psychologist. Writing for lay readers as well as seminary students, he describes a style of theology that pays close attention to the context. Central to his approach are the four phases of starting from experience, exploring, reflecting, and responding. Other topics include transforming theology, challenging implications, and other styles of theologizing. -- Eithne O'Leyne * BOOK NEWS, Inc. *\u003cbr\u003eA practical book, accessible and direct... a significant resource for all those engaged in leadership and learning, lay and ordained, within the community of faith. * Theological Book Review *\u003cbr\u003eI recommend Green's text for local leaders of faith and communities just beginning their explorations in this vital area of ministry and faith community building. -- Anglican and Episcopal History\u003cbr\u003eTheological  resources from Scripture onward were never meant to be hoarded. With generous and accessible hospitality  Green offers this valuable gem of a book to the whole people of God. -- Fredrica Harris Thompsett, Professor of Historical Theology, Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, MA\u003cbr\u003eLaurie Green's  experience as teacher, pastor and agent  for God's change informs every page of this accessible and challenging book  ... a new and extensively revised edition which makes full use of developments  in theological reflection and  cultural understanding in the last  two decades, and it retains all its freshness, insight  and sheer groundedness in the  reality of God's people working for  God's Kingdom. -- Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury\u003cbr\u003eIn reading the new edition of Laurie Green's \"Let's Do Theology\", I had three reactions again and again. I wished I had known about the first edition of this excellent resource over the previous twenty years, because I would have used it in many settings. Every seminarian should engage with this book, so they can bring this clear-minded and warm-hearted approach to theology to their local congregations in the coming generations. -- Brian D. McLaren, author\/speaker * brianmclaren.net *\u003cbr\u003eAs a Dalit activist theologian I am amazed at Bishop Laurie's wealth of biblical and theological understanding.  He challenges the western bias of traditional theology by explaining that every theology is contextual theology. The methodology he adpots helps every reader of this book participate with the author in 'doing' theology. He makes theology 'a tool for the transformation of our own lives and of the society we seek to serve'. This book is  a 'must read'. -- Dr. P.Mohan Larbeer, Dalit activist theologian, Principal of Tamilnadu Theological Seminary, India\u003cbr\u003eA tremendously encouraging book - especially for lay people! Ambitious academically and at the same time a challenge for individual and social life in a globalized world. In Laurie Green's book theory and practice are no longer seperated, as theology is brought back into the midst of our life - and things begin to change. Let's hope there will be a German translation soon! -- Dr. Hermann Düringer, Director of the Arnoldshain Protestant Academy, Germany\u003cbr\u003e\"Accessible theology\" might seem like a contradiction.  Surely theology is a discipline for the professional specialist.  It's not, as Bishop Laurie Green shows us in his marvellous book.  Take a look.  Theology is how we talk, think and act in relation to God and our neighbour.  Its use is not to argue about \"hot button\" controversies but as a way to make sense of the mundane events of daily life.  Bishop Green wants \"Theology to become a tool for the transformation of our own lives and of the society we seek to serve.\"  Laurie Green is a teacher and theologian but also a bishop with years of practical experience of pastoral care for thousands of people in city, rural and multi-cultural settings.  He has written precisely for this purpose: to assist ordinary Christians find the words and framework to think and speak themselves about God in everyday life.  St. Anselm, 11th C. Archbishop of Canterbury wrote about faith seeking understanding and proposed that each of us must explore our faith to the full capacity of our abilities.  The First Letter of Peter tells us always to be prepared to give a reason for the hope that lies within us.  Read this book.  It is simple, direct, practical and wise.  And make the connection between the best of our theological heritage and your own daily experience. -- The Right Reverend Colin R.

But how?''\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrayer is central to Christian faith; indeed, as Timothy Keller notes in his introduction, it is the main way we experience deep change. Yet so many people struggle with prayer - a struggle that the author himself has shared. This wise and inspiring book is the fruit of those struggles, offering a real and glorious vision of what it can mean to seek God in prayer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeller begins by giving a theological underpinning of what prayer actually is - both conversation and encounter with a personal God - before describing how we can learn to pray, and then deepen that prayer.
