Colorado Springs, CO: GMI Books, 2015. 79 pages.<\/p>\n A lot of great people in the Bible lived cross-culturally, but there\u2019s really only one book that focuses on the beginning experiences of somebody who is entering into a new culture: Ruth. What can we learn from her experience (as well as contemporary research) to help those who launch out and say \u201cyour people shall be my people\u201d to transition well and come to a place of effective ministry?<\/p>\n A recently published study guide, written to enrich Crossing Cultures with Ruth<\/em>, provides readers with more detailed, practical guidance, steeped in further research and reflection, as they seek to apply these lessons to their current assignments or challenges they will face down the road. It frames the first book\u2019s 14 chapters into six lessons that individuals and groups can use in a variety of ways: for a weekly study, to guide a mission mentoring relationship, or to use in a small group or ministry training class.<\/p>\n I (Marti) greatly enjoyed working on this project and am pleased with the result. Will you take a look to see if there\u2019s a way you can put it to use?<\/p>\n \u00bb Learn more or purchase the two resources together<\/a> for US$11.99 (ebooks) or US$19.99 (print).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: GMI Books Crossing Cultures with Ruth: Lessons on Thriving in Mission, by James Nelson.
