On Being a Missionary (Revised Edition) - Paperback

by Thomas Hale (Author), Gene Daniels (Author)

A guide to the joys, struggles, and calling of missions

Dr. Hale's practical wisdom is here freely offered to the missionary-to-be and others interested in missions-wisdom hard-earned in Nepal on everything from calling to raising a missionary family to cross-cultural communication.
Now revised to include perspectives on the realities of the changing missionary force and the challenges of bonding with a new culture in an increasingly globalized and technologically connected world, this edition of On Being a Missionary addresses current issues while maintaining the wit and warmth of the man who first challenged us with his perspectives on being a missionary.
