High in the sky, rain clouds are parting. Water trickles and flows down the mountain, collecting in an upland bog, seeping through a beaver’s dam, rushing over rocks, passing many plants and animals along its winding way—each dependent on water and the different environments it shapes to live. Author and illustrator Gordon Morrison has captured a single moment in time, revealing the course and influence of water, and inviting readers to pause and consider the world around them in this beautiful and lyrical appreciation of nature and the resource that makes it all possible—a drop of water.

Jesus has called all His followers to participate in two great assignments: to preach the Gospel (evangelism) and to teach the nations (discipleship and maturity). In this book, the author points out that Christians often emphasize one or the other, but Christ wants us to be about the business of both. Practical instruction is given on how to be a better witness for Jesus, and an onward vision to maturity is humbly presented. A need for evangelism and the truths of eternal judgment are presented with great balance, clarity, and empathy. “If you have a love for God and a love for people, this book will help to equip you to serve our Lord Jesus Christ in this generation. You will be challenged, strengthened, and blessed as you read it.” (Rev. John Heyer from the Foreword).
