I commend to you this book by Kevin Greeson, Sowing with Intent: Jesus’ Galilean Harvest Movement as a Model for Missions. The description:
Sowing with Intent offers a fresh look at Jesus's Parable of the Sower by demonstrating that the parable (a) stands above other parables, (b) represents Jesus's own approach to field ministry, (c) implicitly invites all obedient disciples to adopt Jesus's ministry approach, and (d) guides disciples to discover catalysts who ignite harvest movements.
Jesus's original intent for telling the Parable of the Sower was likely lost in the second century and remained lost until the end of the nineteenth century when scholars declared the original meaning can be known today. Using hermeneutical principles, Sowing with Intent attempts to provide churches and missionaries with Jesus's original intent for telling the Parable of the Sower and how to apply it in today's context.
Endorsement by David Garrison:
In Kevin Greeson’s masterful Sowing with Intent, the author takes us on his
personal journey to understand the missional strategy of Jesus. Greeson's book achieves a fusion of ideas between two worlds, the academic and the missionary practitioner world. Anyone intent on fulfilling the Great Commission through Jesus's own Great Plan must read this book!
