In Beautiful Feet, Dr Sadiri Joy Tira has woven beautifully together contributions from multi-disciplinary researchers and missions practitioners, covering a wide range of contemporary issues—missiological, ecclesiological, generational, gender, global—crucial for the 21st Century world. The inspiring stories of missionaries used by God to impact lives are especially compelling to both senior and younger leaders in the global church and missions.

While this work in some ways looks back in order to honour a missionary couple, its true orientation is to the future. Featured articles are meant to fuel Kingdom work. Standard bearers like Patrick Johnstone contribute while so do more recent newcomers to the stage of missions. Beyond the generational and topical diversity, the reader will also find a distinct variety of ethnicities presenting from their particular world view. In short, this is a rich text that will spur much thought and hopefully action – just as one would expect under the watchful eye of Dr. Tira’s direction.
