Ronnie Floyd's work on the Great Commission Task Force has produced a great work of literature in this book "Our last Great Hope" and throughout this work, he intends to inspire and challenge the readers to rise to the calling that Jesus leaves us with...to GO and MAKE DISCIPLES!
I would say my favorite part of this book, was the fact that he spends time challenging and reminding pastors and leaders, and all who read his book - that it is important we start with our families. Too often, in works like this, where the author is challenging us to go out and change the world for the cause of Christ, they focus so much on the going out - they neglect to inspire us to change and train our children and focus on our families. Ronnie balances this well by devoting time and pages to the importance of our families and our need to train our children and EXPECT them to walk with Jesus because of the outpouring of the Spirit in our lives, onto them!
I would recommend that any leader within the Church, and most definitely the pastor/leader of a local church should read and take to heart the need for us to motivate our people to be missional.
