Tradecraft: For the Church on Mission
Now in English, Italian and Spanish

For centuries, God has called missionaries to cross cultures with the Gospel. Along the way, they have developed necessary skill sets for a cultural expression of the Good News.

Now it is available in Italian and Spanish as well as English.
