Communication skill is the cross-cultural worker’s most essential tool. Moreau, Campbell, and Greener have teamed up to produce a remarkably comprehensive and well-researched volume to sharpen and strengthen that tool. The best of theory is applied to real-life situations with numerous case studies and examples. Effective Intercultural Communication is destined to become the text of choice on this topic from a Christian perspective.
--Craig Ott, professor of mission and intercultural studies, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
Effective Intercultural Communication is an excellent compilation, containing important information for Western leaders who want to serve internationally with cultural intelligence. The case studies and practical examples provide new and interesting ways to approach these crucial topics.
--David Livermore, author of Cultural Intelligence and Serving with Eyes Wide Open
We live in unprecedented times. People from divergent cultures have never been so near and accessible yet unable to meaningfully understand one another. As globalization redefines how we live, Effective Intercultural Communication charts a clear pathway for those courageous enough to rethink how we communicate in a radically changing world. The principles in this book have profoundly changed me. They will change you too.
--Stephan Bauman, former president and CEO, World Relief
