DALLAS, June 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- A rising voice in the missional movement, Palmer Chinchen is passionate about creating a fresh desire among Christ-followers to reach out to a hurting world. True Religion: Taking Pieces of Heaven to Places of Hell on Earth, examines the idea of living a life sacrificially poured out for Christ. He challenges believers to love the Lord with all their mind and soul, with all their strength and heart, and as this love is poured into the work of Christ, believers will experience God moving them in a unique direction that will carry them into new and exciting areas of service.

Drawing from his experiences while growing up in Liberia, West Africa, and later Malawi, Chinchen speaks with authority about the needs facing our world today. His memories of the ravages of war and disease, as well as the effects of extreme poverty, fuel Chinchen's desire to see God's people become passionate about reaching beyond their comfortable church pew and reaching out to those in need all over the world. As believers learn what it means to pour their lives out for Christ, they will, in turn, show the world a true reflection of God's heart for His creation and open doors that will enable the truth of the gospel to reach untold numbers of people for Christ. Believers will also find that they are truly living life as God intended and that the risks, the passion, and the rewards of following Christ are more exciting and fulfilling than they ever dreamed.

Chinchen has spent most of his adult life leading groups of people on global ministry experiences all over the world. True Religion is his challenge to God's people to join in a global missional movement and change the world. He is particularly passionate about eliminating poverty, ending the unjust treatment of women ensnared in the slave trade, and eradicating malaria. He feels these goals and many others are not only possible but also represent the beginning of what God's church can and should do.

Chinchen summarizes his book in one simple statement, "When you give your life away to change this world, God will change you."
