The staggering decline of Christianity in Western Europe -- The death and resurrection of Christianity in Russia -- The United States : is Christianity dying or thriving? -- The Jesuits : the greatest missionaries of all time... and why they matter -- African encounters with Christianity -- Embracing Christ in Asia -- Coming to America : Asians and Latinos stake their claim -- America's role : to be good soil -- Christianity is changing... and it's worth celebrating.

Summary: Pundits regularly declare that Christianity is dying. Its golden age of influence is long gone in Western Europe, and similar trends are happening in North America. But while it slowly dies in the West, Christianity has been coming to life in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Now immigrants, refugees, and missionaries from the Global South bring their vibrant faith to our shores. They are bringing the gospel back to us in new and surprising ways. Christianity is rising, you just have to look around.
