The Desire of the Nations: Being Led Into Missional Living.

How can I live the life that I have been called to live? How can I live like a missionary?

G. K. Chesterton said that every revolution is a

restoration—the recapturing and re-introduction of something that

once guided and inspired people in the past. The word revolution is

from the Latin word re-volvere—to re-roll or re-turn. A revolution

is that thing which going around, comes around—again. In a

similar vein, C.S. Lewis says that when we have lost our way, the

quickest way forward is usually to go home. So we are returning,

we are revolving. To put it strongly, we are revolting, and we are

doing it by going home.
