Product Description
by Carol B. Ghattas (Author)
Called to serve, but feel out of place and longing for home? Not in Kansas Anymore: Finding Home in Cross-Cultural Service is the book for you. Serving cross-culturally is not for the faint of heart, and whether you're reaching the nations in your backyard or across the ocean, you will, or already are, facing some challenges that perhaps take you by surprise. Moving from a high-performance culture to a relational one can be a shock, and no one knows how to navigate the divide like veteran missionary and author Carol Ghattas. Not in Kansas Anymore will address the realities in which new and established missionaries live, providing ways to be more effective in service, while less stressed in life. This book provides questions for individual reflection or group discussion, making it an excellent resource for all those seeking to serve God in ministry or cross-cultural work. With thirty-plus years in missions, Carol Ghattas has made her home in over six countries and among a wide-variety of peoples. She's also had to rediscover what home looks like after returning from the field to her native land. Carol has lived what she writes, reflected in this book, her other non-fiction work, and her novels, which she wrote under the pen name Um Daoud. A sought-after speaker on Islam, missions, and other topics, you can connect with Carol through her blog at lifeinexile.net.
