[Carrie Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Like all books that try to explain culture and acceptance without the light of God's law and Spirit, it is inevitably fraught with huge inconsistencies...but it was a thoroughly enjoyable read, especially considering that it is my study material for the CTEL examination here in CA. What made it all the more enjoyable was the fact that I was going through my own experiences of cultural conflict, and it helped to process through.

Very thorough, but not the fastest read. Helped adequately prepare for CTEL exams.
