This was a textbook on intercultural communication written by a professor at Liberty. I happened to read it thanks to it being a textbook in my intercultural communication class at Liberty. It is a decent book, but it leans heavily on personal anecdotes. If someone is planning on entering the mission field, it would be worth their while to pick this up. But is you can only grab one book, rather than this, I would recommend No Shortcut To Success.
This is a great book for understanding the heart of a missionary. And, in our modern world, everyone is a missionary. We no longer have to travel across the world. The world lives next door. Therefore, are have been given the opportunity right where we are.
