Are you open to other cultures? Do you really know them?,

This review is from: Beyond the White Noise: Mission in a Multicultural World (Paperback)
This book opened my eyes on how a person must feel when we (US christians) try to come to their country to "save them" and make them have a better world. Perhaps our methods and ideals are not theirs. I never realized how we are trying to plant our way of life and change theirs. We must first learn their culture and not impress our way of life on them.

This review is from: Beyond the White Noise: Mission in a Multicultural World (Paperback)
This book should be required reading for anyone planning an overseas mission trip. This book emphasis DOING WITH rather than DOING FOR. It points out the flaws in a patronistic mission philosophy and introduces a way to improve your own view of other cultures and open your mind to a multiculture society and world.

What does the developing world have to teach us?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond the White Noise: Mission in a Multicultural World (Paperback)
The book uses interesting anecdotes to take the reader on a jouney of self-discovery. In the midst of the author's missionary experience in the Phillipines - he is constantly learning what it means to be human, from those he is supposed to be serving.
