Book Trailer...
“This book is different. It’s packed with a winsome, inviting practicality for any Christ-follower to have a fruitful part in reaching the nations.”
Every chapter lists a few ideas, tips, or next steps. But almost every idea is described in story form. The stories are all about everyday, common people with struggles and weaknesses on display. So it’s not hard to imagine how you—or someone you know—might step into the story of God’s purpose with joy. We’ve long needed this book. It’s going to be widely used.”
 –Steve Hawthorne, coeditor of Perspectives on the World Christian Movement

EXTRA BONUS CHAPTER 13
In the last pages of the Across the Street and Around the World, we saw that unhealed wounds, a lack of forgiveness, or lies of the enemy we keep locked inside our souls will end up on display under the stress of living in another culture.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. In a free Bonus Chapter 13 called Praying for Emotional Healing, let’s walk through a practical case study, Sariah’s story, that will guide us through the steps she prayed to get emotionally whole and healthy. As we live through her story of the lies she believed, the truth she received, the unforgiveness she harbored and released, the wounds that crippled her, and the surrender it required to heal those wounds, we’ll also ask our own questions and pray our own prayers for our own situations right alongside them.
Priceless
“In a world divided by walls Across the Street and Around the World is a must-read. We live in an increasingly diverse society and Jeannie Marie shows us how we must live toward one another as followers of Christ. When we cross the street, the walls come down.”
– Palmer Chinchen, PhD, lead pastor at the Grove, expatriate, author of Justice Calling and Barefoot Tribe.

HERE’S THE PROBLEM...
Making a Mess
People want to go on short-term trips, or move overseas, but "passion without knowledge is dangerous". THIS BOOK gently guides you to not make a mess of the world, while you try to make a long-term difference, even if you start small.
Either One Story or a Thesis
"Missions" books tend to be someone's biography...so, interesting but not everything you should know. Or someone's doctoral thesis, so...not so easy to read. THIS BOOK uses a lot of intentionally chosen stories to illustrate complicated principles. Easy and FUN to read...but deep too.
Books like Bricks
"Missions" books are pretty thick, academic, and go deep on one topic only. THIS BOOK is twelve books in one, so you can read a paperback on the beach and get the whole big picture, ALL-IN-ONE. Each chapter is an important, different topic, with practical step-by-step things to do, while you grasp complicated things is a simple way.

want to do something, but you don't know what, how, with who, or where?
Let's take the missteps and mystery out of going global...here or there.
The book is intentionally written in three important parts, so that you can start right where you already are reaching the nations near you, grow as you explore the space between here and there, and then discover what it would take to go long-term overseas.
Part one:
Across the Street

Part Two:
The Space Between
You'll learn to increase your MQ (missional intelligence) as you see what it will take to reach the world for Christ. Then, you'll explore how to plan and participate in three different types of short-term trips. Even if you never go overseas, everyone one of us can become inspirational mobilizers, extavagant givers, and passionate prayers.

- What short-term trips really do, and don't do, and how to know which kind of trip you're going on.

Part three:
Around the World
In this section, you'll ask the question, "God would you have ME change my address to serve you where there is least access?" as you discover if you could GO to the ends of the earth, long-term. You'll wrestle with calling, gifting an personalities of goers. You'll dream about overseas professions and earthly impact. In order to go, you'll need to surrender the "American Dream" and then get emotionally, physically, and spiritually healthy..

WANT TO KNOW WHAT READERS ARE SAYING?
Here's just a few of the hundreds of reviews from readers...
“Here is my endorsement of this tremendous book."
I know that many readers want to make a difference in the lives of Hindu, Muslim, and other non-Christian peoples, but don’t know where to begin. Jeannie Marie shows the way. This book is a fun read, a missions how-to, and a journey with Jesus Christ to the places in our world, some of them nearby, where the need for God’s love is so great.”
– Bob Blincoe, president emeritus of Frontiers USA, with Jan
I'm Jeannie Marie
YOURÂ WORLD CHANGER BFF
I was once exactly where you are today. After figuring out how to do what I wrote about, both across the street with my neighbors, international students, and refugees—and around the world in multiple countries, God has "expanded my territory". He's letting me use my "secret sauce" of making hard things simple in a step-by-step, fun way, first with this book, and then with hundreds and thousands of students in nineteen countries (so far), lavishing the spiritual gift of encouragement the Spirit gave me on YOU. So that YOU can do this too..
I'd love to dream with you about all the possibilities— between the pages of my book.
Across the Street and Around the World includes EVERYTHING YOU NEED to explore living out Jesus' last words
Jesus said it plainly, "Go and make disciples of all nations." But how do you live it out in your ordinary life? Read what it will take to follow Jesus to the nations in your neighborhood...and beyond, with intentionality, and purpose.Â
