Remember when you thought you could change the world? You were right!Some people's response to the world's unreached billions is to think that they are unreachable. Nothing could be further form the truth! When you know they are reachable, the next question is, how? Reachable answers that question with inspiring stories of the lives and ministries of indigenous missionaries and a heartfelt call to be their partner.

Bullfighting is more than a bloody spectacle. It must be seen in a context going back to pre-history, and extending into our distant future. Biology, ecology, economics, evolution,and more. Our own nature is tied to the picture.

Many in the Christian church have lost their WHY when it comes to actively seeking to reach unreached people for Jesus. Why should we care? Why should we act?REASONS is Jack Nelson's companion to his book REACHABLE: How Indigenous Missionaries Are Changing the Face of Missions in which he argued that indigenous missionaries are uniquely qualified to reach people who are unreached with the Good News of Jesus Christ. In REASONS, which is somewhat of a prequel to REACHABLE, the author...

Jack Nelson lives on the shore of Academy Bay in the Galápagos Islands since 1967, and figured he knew the place until he was surprised by the destructive power of the Tsunami of March 2011. This is a short description of why he happened to be there for the event, the excitement of the critical moments,and the aftermath.

In 1967 with almost no money I traveled from the Galapagos Islands to California, through Ecuador, Colombia,Central America, and Mexico. My recollections of the experience are more about the people I met along the way, rather than a description of places and things. It was a very different world then.

The author, his friends and family have long experience with the cetaceans in the deep blue sea. We know they are highly intelligent but so different from us that they are as if aliens in the oceans. They are tragically vulnerable to our heedless ways.

Coverage of recent world events has focused on violence associated with Islam. In this courageous and controversial book, Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer claims that this narrow view ignores the broader and unfortunate relationship between human violence and the sacred texts of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Both the Bible and the Quran, he believes, are riddled with violent images of God and with passages that can be reasonably interpreted to justify violence against enemies in service to God's wil...

Philosophy's traditional "man of reason"-independent, neutral, unemotional-is an illusion. That's because the "man of reason" ignores one very important thing-the woman.As feminist philosophy grew in the 1980s and '90s, it became clear that the attributes philosophical tradition wrote off as "womanly" are in fact part of human nature. No longer can philosophy maintain the dichotomy between the rational man and the emotional woman, but must now examine a more complex human being, ab...

From a gullible cub reporter with the Daily Herald in Biloxi and Gulfport, to the pugnacious Pulitzer Prize winner at the Atlanta Constitution, to the peerless beat reporter for the Los Angeles Times covering civil rights in the South, Jack Nelson (1929–2009) was dedicated to exposing injustice and corruption wherever he found it. Whether it was the gruesome conditions at a twelve-thousand-bed mental hospital in Georgia or the cruelties of Jim Crow inequity, Nels...
