Rescuing the Gospel from the Cowboys: A Native American Expression of the Jesus Way

We are invited by the author into a well researched, biblically sound, relational conversation. We all are made in God’s image yet are immersed in different cultural contexts. Many native people groups have been exposed to a gospel that doesn’t translate..the carriers of the Good News mistakenly required their own culture, ways to be the only “right” way.I highly recommend this book especially if you are in or considering cross cultural life or “ministry “.

This book reads like a dissertation because it is. With so many technical terms, it was hard to follow, especially at first. I prefer the author's book One Church Many Tribes as it is a much smoother read. Still, the information in this book is important and sounds.

I have long worked in ministry under the conviction that the Spirit of God can reach people most powerfully within the context of their God-given culture. Having served as a Bible translator for some 16 years among a people whose culture was in most ways diametrically opposed to my own, I found great comfort in knowing the if we were faithful in translating the Scriptures in their language, the way of applying that message in their lives could and should be left up to the local people. I am encouraged that the message of Jesus is beginning to find full expression among the First Nations people groups of North America in their local contexts. Thank you to Richard Twiss! Though he is no longer with us, his work will continue to bear fruit for generations to come!

Great overview of the same cross-cultural problem being committed everywhere.

A great book to help navigate the waters of contextualization among Native Americans. This title provides more details than other titles by Richard Twiss.

Rev. Dr. Twiss makes some very good points in a very easy to read and understand style. I would recommend his book to clergy, academics and lay people alike and hope that when they read it they take the lessons he gives to heart.

Great read. Eye opening revelation about Native Americans and the Gospel.

A much needed read for anyone desiring authenticity and honesty among all followers of Jesus.
