Ghost of Milfred

While waiting in the passport line upon my arrival in Johannesburg (which locals call "Joburg") I stood next to a man who was putting his reading material away in preparation for clearing customs. I noticed a familiar looking book jacket covering a book written by a Milfred Minatrea, a colleague of mine - Shaped by God's Heart: The Passion and Practices of Missional Churches. The Australian asked what I thought about the book written by a man with a very unusual name, and I gave the book (and Milfred!) a glowing recommendation. He said that he too found it very practical. Small world.
