A Chance to Die
Be inspired by a woman who dared to follow God Amy Carmichael understood true discipleship and lived it out. At a young age she felt called to the mission field, followed God's guidance, and eventually went to India, where she would spend fifty-three years without furlough. While there, Amy founded the Dohnavur Fellowship, a refuge for children in moral danger--children who were orphaned or unwanted and sold to the temple. Amy became a mother for these children, and so they called her "Amma." Even today, Amy's life of obedience and courage stands as a model for all Christians everywhere. We resonate with her desires and dreams, her faults and fears, her dedication and service. For former missionary and author Elisabeth Elliot, Amy became a role model. "She showed me the shape of godliness," writes Elliot. A Chance to Die is the life story of Amy Carmichael. In this reverent biography, Elisabeth Elliot brings "Amma" to life, providing a compelling, unforgettable narrative that will provoke you to examine the depths of your own faith and encourage you to reaffirm your life and commitment to Christ.

Standing on Our Own Feet: How to Encourage Indigenous Churches to Operate from a Place of Dignity and Sustainability in Global Mission Workbook
There is a popular saying in Kenya: Nobody walks with another man's gait. A person's gait is as unique as their fingerprints or voice patterns. To borrow someone else's gait is to become someone else. Churches in the non-Western world should not attempt to imitate the gait of Western churches, nor should we want them to. In other words, indigenous churches have the irreplaceable privilege of being God's best version of themselves-standing secure with their own unique stance and walking with their own distinctive gait. Unfortunately, when Western Christians engage in global contexts where there is economic disparity, they readily and unknowingly assume, activate, and attract poverty. This behavior causes local churches to walk with another man's gait, lose their balance, and thus compromise God's best version of themselves. This Standing On Our Own Feet workbook via case studies, examples, questions, and application will help you, your team, and your church to intentionally assume, activate, and attract church dignity in your global engagement.

The Savage My Kinsman
In January of 1956, the world recoiled in shock with the news. Five American missionaries had been speared to death in the Ecuadorian jungles by Auca Indians-reportedly the most savage tribe on earth. Years later, it became clear that what had seemed to be the tragic ending of those missionaries' dreams was only the first chapter of one of the most breathtaking missionary stories of the twentieth century. "The Savage, My Kinsman" tells the story, in text and pictures, of Elisabeth Elliot's venture into Auca territory three years after the death of her husbnad, Jim Elliot. Elisabeth and her daughter Valerie, then three years old, returned to the jungle along with Rachel Saint, the sister of one of the other slain men. The linguistic work of these women brought Christ's message of slavation to the tribe that thad killed their loved ones.
We Are Not The Hero - The Participant's Guide
There have been many requests from the We Are Not The Hero readership for a Participant’s Guide to accompany the book. Five Stones Global has responded to these requests. We have created a We Are Not The Hero Participant’s Guide. We Are Not The Hero is an “out of the box” book on global missions about how to create a culture of dignity, sustainability, and multiplication in Great Commission efforts in place of dependency, neocolonialism, and paternalism. The combination of the book, participant’s guide, and videos will give you, your team, organization, or church a engaging way to learn about and apply best practice in missions. In the Participant’s Guide, there are six lessons to process the book and six videos to launch each lesson. Start each lesson with the BIG IDEA delivered through a video. Internalize and explore the content with stimulating QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER. Ensure you capture the important principles via SUM IT ALL UP. Apply the concepts and principles through ACTION STEPS.To order the videos, please visit fivestonesglobal.org.
