C. J. Scurria’s Reviews > The Reentry Team: Caring for Your Returning Missionaries > Status Update

Such an amazing book! Usually when I start a book I assume I will give it a certain star-rating almost automatically. I wanted to give this 4 stars. How wrong I was! This has to be given 5 stars! Never have I read such an influential book (aside from the original Word itself!).

This book is great it is just frustrating that I am having trouble finishing it. It is not the book's fault it is just that every time I get to read this book the moment is interrupted by life. This is an eye-opener of a book. Amazing.

The stories have at least once made me want to cry. Wow. Missionary teens go through so much. They start off in their country grow up somewhere else and end up back at their home country (if they re-enter) where they feel strange like they will never belong.

This is a funny chapter telling things that have happened to a returning missionary (the plight of a supermarket shopper) all in a humorous fashion.

Book is very encouraging and informative. Makes you want to open your house to missionaries that need to adjust to their new (but old since they are back in their own country) lives.

Encouraging to hear how God takes care of these people even during harsh circumstances as they do His will

Wow. These stories are so surprising and sometimes tragic I can't even believe my eyes. Missionaries need prayer as it is but my hope is that people of the church will be sensitive and ceaselessly loving toward them if they think that just taking them home is the only way to help the returning workers of God.

I just read the intro. It's funny that with "The Chamber" I thought I would read a library book. I never thought it would turn out I would start reading a book that I am meant to read before placing it in the library! Irony cuz I wanted to read a diff. book before this one. I am drawn in by the intro. This is definitely an aspect in the missionary life that people would never think about... except ones that face it!
