| Summary: | "Movements to Jesus in Least-Reached Peoples We live in an exciting day: movements to Jesus are emerging in people groups all around the world! But what of the 7,000 least-reached people who remain? How will they join in experiencing God's blessing and fullness of life in Jesus? And what if their experience does not match our expectations? In Insiders and Alongsiders, Kevin Higgins offers his evolving perspective on "insider" movements, a controversial type of movement in which families and friendship webs that become faithful followers of Jesus remain identified with the culture of their people group-including their religious culture. To better understand IMs, Higgins proposes a deeper conversational core for the ongoing debate. He challenges us to change our position from a "outsider," assessing IMs by Western norms, to an "alongsider," bearing witness to who makes the decisions in IMs, and how, and why. Insiders and Alongsiders suggests a new framework to recognize, evaluate, and nurture insider movements, addresses common concerns about them, and describes IM leader's ideas about the future trajectories of their movements. This accessible introduction to insider movements invites you to the worldwide conversation about insiders, alongsiders, and movements to Jesus, enabling you to find your role in the big picture"--
