Book excerpt: When the Civil War ended, Gil Hooley journeyed out West, figuring that if there was any market left for his hand-crafted tents, it would be on the wide open frontier. But when his wagon breaks down in the middle of nowhere, a community begins to grow around him, one tent at a time, until Gil finds himself the unlikely leader-and defender-of his own town.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An expansive and captivating history of an often overlooked traditional art"—Egyptian Streets In the crowded center of Historic Cairo lies a covered market lined with wonderful textiles sewn by hand in brilliant colors and intricate patterns. This is the Street of the Tentmakers, the home of the Egyptian appliqué art known as khayamiya. The Tentmakers of Cairo brings together the stories of the tentmakers and their extraordinary tents—from the huge tent pavilions, or suradeq, of the streets of Egypt, to the souvenirs of the First World War and textile artworks celebrated by quilters around the world. It traces the origins and aesthetics of the khayamiya textiles that enlivened the ceremonial tents of the Fatimid, Mamluk, and Ottoman dynasties, exploring the ways in which they challenged conventions under new patrons and technologies, inspired the paper cut-outs of Henri Matisse, and continue to preserve a legacy of skilled handcraft in an age of relentless mass production. Drawing on historical literature, interviews with tentmakers, and analysis of khayamiya from around the world, the authors reveal the stories of this unique and spectacular Egyptian textile art.

Book excerpt: Professional church planter Patrick Lai provides an in-depth reference for tentmakers--business-as-mission practitioners operating in regions of great antagonism to the Christian message. Those who are unfamiliar with the world of tentmaking will find valuable information to introduce them to the concept and to help in getting started. Designed to be a manual, Tentmaking is more than just an overview of questions and issues. This work will serve as an in-depth reference for existing tentmakers. This thoroughly researched collection is the result of interviews from over 450 people serving in the 10/40 window. It provides a unique viewpoint on missions, sharing proven, workable alternatives to conventional missionary life. Tentmaking provides an important and much needed resource to this specialized area of world missions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would it surprise you to know that New Testament scholars, missiologists, and church-planting authorities cannot agree on how to define tentmaking, whether or not the church should be practicing it today, or even why Paul did it in the first place? It’s true. In Tentmaking, the widespread confusion and overall disagreement within the church regarding Paul’s self-support are exposed. Commonly held assumptions are removed from their entrenched positions and myths are debunked. In their place, Tentmaking offers an unadorned yet powerfully convincing presentation of Paul’s own self-disclosed reasons for intentionally selecting to support himself in some ministry contexts, but not others. This well-researched book provides answers to crucial questions that currently surround tentmaking, as well as a practical guide intended to lead to the recovery of biblical tentmaking within the church. Readers who pick up this book should be prepared to embark on an engrossing journey that will reward them with clarity on the often-misunderstood topic of Paul’s tentmaking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this "slim, readable, and provocative volume" (Journal of Biblical Literature), Ronald Hock focuses on the apostle Paul and his work within the social and intellectual context of the Greek East of the early Roman Empire. Hock discusses the New Testament evidence concerning tentmaking in relation to Paul's life as an apostle of Christ. Relevant literary and nonliterary texts from outside the New Testament add detail to a picture of ancient society and open new areas for study. The author describes the typical experiences that arose from such a way of life – traveling, the tentmaking trade, the missionary use of the workshop, attitudes toward work, and Paul's own reflections on the significance of his tentmaking for the apostolic self-understanding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wise King Solomon gives us this proverb: ""Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings"" (Prov 22:29). This book won't ensure that you and your professional skills end up meeting kings, but it will show how you and your training can be planted among unreached people abroad. By taking a job in your field of expertise, you gain far more than a paycheck; rather, a network of relationships with colleagues and neighbors. In doing so, you will learn that you are in good company with the Apostle Paul and thousands of other ""tentmakers"" in church history. Deckert draws on his tentmaking experience with his wife and children spanning twenty years and six countries. Readers will learn of a biology professor colleague in the Middle East who, on hearing the gospel over lunch, replied, ""That's different. That's wonderful. No one ever taught me that before."" In another country, a nationally ranked chess player, after reading the Gospels, was moved to tears, saying, ""He died for me. I'm a sinner."" This book takes you through twelve key areas of tentmaking, from finding a job to retirement. ""God created us to do good work and called us to make disciples. Too often we see those two things competing for our loyalty unnecessarily. Glenn invites us to see the ways vocation and mission meet authentically and beautifully."" --Ruth D. Hubbard, Vice President, Urbana, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA ""Glenn Decker's years of experience overseas and his insightful and sometimes amusing personal stories make reading Working Abroad with Purpose: The Way of a Tentmaker not only informative but also delightful. This is a must-read for those working as tentmakers. For many, the biblical survey of tentmaking will be new and inspiring. This book will be an encouragement to those facing the difficult task of learning a new language. The emphasis on hospitality is surely what is needed to make headway into new and challenging cross-cultural settings."" --Chester Wood, Dean of PhD Programs (retired). Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology/Africa International University ""Working Abroad With Purpose is a must read for everyone--not just those contemplating overseas work but for the entire church. Glenn Deckert is a supremely dedicated Christ follower whose writing only scratches the surface of who he is."" --Wayne Shabaz, president, CDAWN Learning Glenn D. Deckert has master's degrees from Wheaton College and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and a master's degree and a PhD in education from the University of Illinois. For sixteen years, he taught in Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Hong Kong. He served in Qatar, Moldova, and Azerbaijan in state department programs and numerous countries as a volunteer. He retired from Eastern Michigan University's Department of Foreign Languages as an associate professor.
