Check out that book here: http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/entry/offers/partnerPromotions.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&productID=BK_TNWD_000006 This is a great topic Tom! We must be willing to take risks in spreading the gospel. I believe that our risk adversity says a lot about us. Is success an idol? Are we trusting solely in our own abilities? Is our pride a larger success than the benefits of taking on risks? Are we fearing being found out? What place/role does God have in our ministries? Growth requires failure.
