Ministering CrossCulturally A Model for Effective Personal Relationships Sherwood G Lingenfelter Marvin K Mayers 9780801097478 Books Reviews
- Honestly, this is the best book I have read on the topic. It’s scholarly but not dry, a dense and compact and impactful read. The authors get more in this 120+ pages than in all of Duane Elmer’s entire canon on the same subject. As near as I can tell, this edition is different in that they moved some material around and slightly changed the title to appeal to a general audience. Otherwise, it’s the same jewel as the 2nd edition.
I am an organizational social scientist who has studied cross-cultural competence at a doctoral level, and I can say that there is a robust foundation of scholarship underlying the book that doesn’t get in the way of the message. For example, I am using this book with a group of leaders who are working on how to better integrate different cultural groups within our church and to be more effective in our changing community. Feedback is showing that the concepts in this book are eye-opening and likely to be life-changing. - This book has a very useful assessment in it that works great not only for cross-cultural workers but also for looking at marriage from a cross-cultural perspective. Some of our participants said it gave them more insight into sources of potential or real conflict that was better than counselors they had talked with.
- Although I read this as an adjunct to a Cambodian mission trip, I highly recommend this book for improving interpersonal relationships around you, both common and uncommon. It sparks both personal evaluation as well as curiosity towards others and an openness too both. It then expands human culture and reminds us as Christians that our citizenship is in heaven so our priorities here are not culture bound but God breathed in the person of Jesus and his examples/priorities.
- Unique approaches to a over looked perspective
Easy to understand
Real life examples
Applicable
Great Resource
Useful in teaching others - The author helpfully challenges our sense of cultural superiority and also gives tools by which we can understand and enter into cultures different from our own. A must read for those who desire to effectively serve within another culture.
- I have purchased this book many times over. Very helpful and easy to read first step toward cultural intelligence!
- This book helps with the big picture on key ideas, whereas "Christianity Confronts Culture" is much fuller in concepts and material. The only constraint is "Christianity Confronts Culture" is exclusively a hard copy and is no where to be found thus far as an ebook. Hopefully, the book will also come to to provide a fuller resource to "Ministering Cross-Culturally."
- great
