This is a must read for anyone who desires to or is currently working with people from other cultures in any means. It addresses perspectives, differences, attitudes and skills necessary to be successful in other cultures or working with others who come from other cultural backgrounds.
Each chapter addresses a key area that is insightful for the reader to look through and really think about. At the end of each of these chapters there are questions included to inspire deeper thought and discussion. This would be a great resource for a group to read and discuss together. You can read it and learn a lot alone but a group would help the reader think through all the challenges that cross-cultural ministry can bring.
One huge pitfall in cross cultural work is the lack of training and wrong or unrealistic expectations. This book is a gem in helping you know all that is needed in this transition. It helps draw out of your heart what issues you may personally be challenged with in this work. I found it extremely helpful not only for thinking through future cross-cultural work outside my birth country but also for the work I do with foreigners within my own country. It was helpful all around by giving me eyes to see things with understanding within different cultures.
You can get a copy of this book from Amazon here.
I received a copy of this book at no charge from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review.
