Book excerpt: Ever since the Apostle Paul had a job making tents to support his work of spreading the gospel, "tentmakers" have played an important role in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. But not everyone who works overseas has an impact for Christ. Becoming an effective tentmaker calls for a special mix of skills. This workbook is actually a course of study. It helps Christians interested in tentmaking learn how to fulfill that calling. While the book can be used for individual study, it will be most useful when studied with others in a small group. Guidelines for group study are included. - Back cover.
