Book Review: “Our Last Great Hope”

Ronnie Floyd’s latest book, Our Last Great Hope, is meant to awaken within evangelical Christians the need and necessity for fulfilling the Great Commission. Floyd served for one year as the head of a group within the Southern Baptist Convention that was charged with studying world situations and how best to approach taking the Gospel to the entire world. He wrote this book, not so much as a “report” from that committee, but from his heart that was awakened by seeing the situation.

Of course, there are some statements in the book that deal with doctrines that are false, but this book still needs to be read. As I read it, I kept finding quotes and longer sections that I was reading again and again, because they really were eye-opening and made me look into the mirror and ask, “Am I really doing my part?”

The book has two great strengths.

First, the book is worded very strongly. Floyd pulls no punches as to the need that is ever-growing, due to the increasing population of the world. This book will really make you think about the Great Commission.

Second, the book covers several aspects of how to fulfill the command of Christ. It does not just conclude that we should “get to it.” Instead, Floyd shares ways that individuals and congregations can look for open doors, in people, resources, and finances, to get to work.

I highly recommend this book.
