Culture to Culture

by Nan Leaptrott

Culture to Culture is for those who are called to Christian service beyond their familiar cultural settings.

Culture-based rules of interaction can seem baffling without an understanding of their origin or purpose. Misinformation about why people from other cultures behave as they do can hinder one's effectiveness.

Misinformation about another's culture can create a barrier to doing business. More importantly, misinformation can hinder one's service as a Christian missionary or traveler.

Drawing on years of experience as a corporate trainer in global protocol, Leaptrott introduces the reader to a host of ways in which sensitive understanding can improve one’s effectiveness. From general guidelines to country-by-country pointers, this resource will be a great help to anyone who is serious about communicating what is important.

So whether you are planning a mission trip, preparing for a lengthy term of missionary service, or simply wanting to become acquainted with that new family in your community, the effectiveness of your witness will be improved from a careful reading of Culture to Culture.
