Publisher's summary

A Great Need Requires a Great Response

Today, over three billion people, a third of humanity, have yet to hear the good news of Jesus. They have no opportunity to believe in him as their Savior and find peace with God through him. Of all the injustices in the world—and there are many that are quite distressing—this is the worst, because of the eternal consequences. A third of anything is significant—especially this third.

In light of this staggering need, Marv Newell explores the five Great Commission passages, where Jesus methodically unfolds the essence of the disciples’ task. A Third of Us is not just an invitation to be aware of the need, but a rally cry for today’s disciples to respond. Writing to the whole body of Christ, Newell casts a vision for multiple ways to get involved in reaching the unreached.

When finishing the task set by our Savior feels overwhelming, this practical and inspiring book points us back to Jesus’ words with hope. So. . . are you ready to reach A Third of Us?

Critic reviews

Just this past week I came across an (older) article dismissing the terminology of the “Unreached” for a lack of clarity. Dr. Marv Newell’s book provides just that: clarity to the nature of the unreached, clarity of our Savior’s commission and clarity of the gospel message that we live and proclaim. It is a pleasure to commend to you Dr. Newell’s book, A Third of Us: What It Takes to Reach the Unreached as a gospel-centered theology of mission for today’s world.


Steve Coffey DSL, Executive Director, Christar USA

The cause of the unreached has been lost in the business of the church. This book is a rally cry for all Christians. Dr. Newell makes a strong and clear case that will light a fire in the hearts of believers.


Jon Fugler Board Chairperson, Alliance For The Unreached

It is a sobering thought to those of us in the mission community that 2,000 years after receiving our marching orders from Jesus with the Great Commission, more than a third of the world’s population is still unreached. Marv’s words are a must read for individuals, churches, and agencies alike to bring focus and initiative to reach those destined for an eternity separated from God.
