Full Salvation: Stories of Holistic Integrated Mission

Overview

This is more than a book of stories – it is an invitation into a movement being renewed by the way of Jesus.

Drawing together powerful accounts of spiritual and social transformation from across The Salvation Army, these pages reveal what happens when faith, compassion, justice, discipleship, prayer, and mission come together as one integrated expression of the gospel.

At the heart of this book is a simple but profound conviction: the gospel is for the whole person. Through the vision of ‘Holistic Integrated Mission’, readers will encounter stories of lives restored, communities renewed, and hope rediscovered through the love and power of Jesus Christ.

These are stories where corps and social expressions work together, where faith pathways are intentional, and where people experience the transforming reality of full salvation in everyday life.

Commissioner Miriam Gluyas reminds us that “life transformation through Jesus is alive and well within The Salvation Army Australia” and that mission is our heartbeat, our very DNA. With deep conviction and compelling vision, Christopher Trodden calls readers to “rekindle the blazing fire of full salvation”.

Together, these reflections form a hopeful and inspiring call to rediscover the heart of mission in a rapidly changing world and bring us back to solid footing – Jesus is still The Way.

Honest, moving, and deeply hopeful, this book invites every reader to pause, pray, and consider what it means to align their whole lives more deeply with the way of Jesus – and to joyfully participate in God’s transforming work across Australia.
