— Contextualizing Missionary and National Identity (2025) —
Missionaries are called to cross boundaries for the sake of the gospel, adapting to new contexts and becoming "all things to all people." In such a role, how are missionaries to negotiate their own national identities? Do they simply suppress them or can such identities, rightly understood, be harnessed for the glory of Christ?
This book is based on the doctorate thesis at the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies. More information on the book HERE.
You can order the book at Langham Publishing, Amazon and elsewhere.

You can order the book HERE.Waiting for the Burning Bush is a book about God's calling not only into cross-cultural missions. It builds upon the story of God's calling of Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, when we supernaturally spoke to him through the burning bush. I approached the topic in a practical way, while asking whether should we wait for God's supernatural lead or keep moving forward in faith, based on knowing God's character.
It is my most autobiographic book, it contains many life stories and illustrations. At the same time it is quite thin - only 111 pages. The goal of the book is to motivate and encourage. I believe everyone will find something here for himself / herself.
— From Czechia till the Ends of the Earth: A Practical Guide for Missionaries and Those who Support Them (2022, IN CZECH) —

Together with my co-author Eliška, we've written a new book on mission from the Czech Republic. It is in Czech. The book aims at wider Christian public and is published by KMS Publishing in Prague. It is a combination of practical "know-how", how to support Czech missionaries, and of encouraging stories from specific Czech missionaries.
We are in contact with more than thirty of these intercultural workers and we find it important to let them share their experiences to help those who are preparing to go and to enrich those who would support them. Our desire is to see that Czech churches learn to send well and to provide good quality care for missionaries.
— Slavs to Slavs in Mission: Identity of Czech Missionaries in Former Yugoslavia Countries (2022) —
You can order the book HERE.
About: Many would agree that the issue of identity is pertinent for mission. This book explores the case study of Czechs in former Yugoslavia countries with focus on national identity of the missionaries. It aims to help mission practitioners to understand what to beware of and what to benefit from. It provides a fresh insight into mission dynamics in Central and Eastern Europe, yet with its aim on identity negotiation of missionaries could relate to other contexts as well.
