How to Flourish Spiritually and Economically in Tough Places The Arabian Gulf-the wealthiest country in the world is located here, as is the world's busiest airport. Not many citizens are Christians. Not much religious conversion is allowed. Yet God's grace is at work through migrant women who share God's love with some of the country's most powerful people. In this book, you will find: ¿ primary research not available anywhere else, narrated in a highly readable style ¿ globalization, diasporas, and massive culture change ¿ Jesus women-maids, nurses, pastors-experiencing rape, jail, and the opportunity to mentor hundreds ¿ a guide for group Bible study and reflection at the end of each chapter These Gulf women's stories, like those in the Bible, teach lessons that apply to us in many countries.

Autorenporträt
Miriam grew up in Oregon and is still at home among the vast evergreen forests and blue lakes beside the unpredictable Pacific. Always active on school newspapers, Miriam earned an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, and continues to make writing a priority. For Christianity Today, she has served as a writer, senior editorial consultant, and longtime Board member. That led to her writing the CT editorial titled "Think Globally, Love Globally" immediately following the World Trade Center disaster on September 11, 2001. Bookending Miriam's journalism degree are a BA and a PhD in anthropology (Wheaton College and Washington State University). For many years Miriam has served as a professor of applied anthropology and missiology at Seattle Pacific University. Simultaneously she has crossed the Canadian border regularly to teach at Regent College. Miriam consults for Christians in wide range of cultures, from a pig-selling business in Sumatra to a toilet cleaning caste in Pakistan to researchers on childraising in Iran.She grew up in a home that loved the Word, the church, and God's world. To those passions she added a quest to understand culturally-contextualized communication. For four years during her twenties, Miriam directed publications for the Philippine InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.
