Review: A Force In the Earth gave me a wider perspective of the past, present, and future of missions. David Shibley is a man who knows his stuff, and is able to communicate clearly and with power. A great read for missions-minded Christians!

Summary: Book doesn't deliver what the title promises
Review: I wanted to read this to find out about the movings of the Holy Spirit in our time. What I read however, was a history of charismatic and Pentacostal missions over the past 75 years. While this was an interesting study, it was not written in a way that could be readily understood by non-charismatics; and it focused more on what the charismatic movement was doing in the world than on what the Holy Spirit was doing on a broader scope. The author claimed to want to discuss the Spirit's working in many traditions and denominations but all we got was a picture of what was happening with one particular group.
