The author's case is well argued and he doesn't just exhort and cite statistics but also describes how his own vision for missions was changed. This is not an ivory tower account, it comes from experience, reflection and continuing, passionate engagement.
I know the author personally, one of the most energetic, inspiring, and God-fearing person I know. I haven't start reading it but can't wait to get started.
The title of the book Thinking Outside the Window does not merely echo an expression that has become popular and actually encourages creativity- name Thinking Outside the Box-, but it is also an exciting narrative of one young man's narrative of progressive experiencing God's love, care and direction in his life, and an ensuring relationship that has an ever-expanding dimension and reach.
The simplicity of the narrative which at some stage comes across as an autobiography, and at some other points portrays elements of teaching and instruction, with over 250 references, attests to a tacit acknowledgement of the input of others in not just the writing of the book but also in the build-up of the vision and character of the writer Dr. Yaw Perbi, and at the end of the day it becomes a humble testimony of God's dealing with him and in particular the perspectives he sees in the gospel outreach to international students in Canada in particular, and the wider world in general.
This is a highly recommended book for all who desire to see new ways in which the Lord Almighty is shaping His world.

What an awesome book to read. Dr Perbi make us know how easy mission has become compared to years back. Everyone of us can do something in the kingdom to show the love of God to someone. Can you imagine souls that can be won through the student international ministry? Brothers and sisters let us be a part of this. We have the staff of Student international ministry working so hard to show the love of God and also witness to these students. And by so doing, these students and their family come to know the lord. All we have to do is to contribute our money to such an awesome ministry. I'm in so please join me.
Among others, Dr Yaw Perbi's Thinking Outside the Window makes a strong case for the power of love, the love of Jesus Christ, not as charity, etc, but as sharing our personal experience of that love with an international student. The process lets our target person into our lives to see, taste and feel how Jesus' love has transformed us. Unstoppable life-changing global ripple effects result. This is something all of us can do. Read Dr Perbi's Thinking Outside the Window and see how to start right where you are.

Thinking outside the window is a good reminder that the lord’s thoughts and ways for us are far beyond anything we imagine—unbounded by place but perfect in its time. And as one who was recently an international student, I couldn’t agree more about reaching out to international students
