Index
The book is a MUST read for all foreign missionaries. It has been a long time since I have found a book more interesting, and as a missionary, one of more practical value.
Gospel Herald
He has written a stimulating and thought-provoking volume which deals with missionaries in relation to people of other cultures and backgrounds. His illustrations richly demonstrate his thesis that every missionary needs to become intimately acquainted with the cultural anthropology of the people whom he ministers.
United Evangelical Action
A wide-ranging, sometimes startling, and often humorous encounter with the strange ways of the human race which will appeal as much to the general reader as to the missionary.
