"Required reading for every current and future cross-cultural worker" Drawing on decades of teaching and mission experience, leading missiologist Darrell Whiteman helps people in ministry learn how to explore and understand their social, cultural, and religious context so they can more effectively witness to people in cultures different from their own. "Whiteman is a master teacher of cross-cultural missionaries around the world. This book summarizes his insights on incarnational mission. A fount of practical knowledge, Whiteman interweaves his own experiences with biblical insights and anthropological theories. I find great wisdom and inspiration in these pages." --Dana L. Robert, Boston University "This book is a magnificent tour de force, an eloquent summary of a life lived helping people imitate God's self-emptying, incarnational love as they participate in God's mission. It should be read by every missionary but also by any disciple who yearns to minister faithfully, creatively, and effectively in today's multicultural church and world." --Stephen Bevans, SVD, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago (emeritus) "This missiological text should be required reading for every current and future cross-cultural worker. An invaluable resource that scholars, mission practitioners, and mission educators will return to again and again." --Sarita Gallagher Edwards, author of Christ among the Nations: Narratives of Transformation in Global Mission "Whiteman tackles head-on the ubiquitous problem of Christians confusing their own culture with the gospel. Using his knowledge as an anthropologist and his lifetime of experience, he provides the reader with practical skills to live as an effective incarnational Christian in any setting. Whether crossing the street or the globe, this book is a must-have for anyone living as a cross-cultural witness." --Leanne M. Dzubinski, Beeson International Center, Asbury Theological Seminary "Darrell deftly explores key topics of culture, incarnational ministry, worldview, culture shock, and effective communication. I wholeheartedly endorse this significant book." --Duncan Olumbe, regional director, Interserve
