In the author's ten years living in China, Chinese friends and foreign friends alike have told him that in many ways he is more like a Chinese person than an American. He sees himself as an «egg,» which is white on the outside and yellow (Chinese) inside. For cross-cultural ministry, we learn from the apostle Paul: «I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some» (1 Cor 9:22). Paul's purpose in becoming all things to all men is so that some may be saved. We can see this displayed in his preaching to the Athenians in Acts 17, how he becomes a local by relating to them through their culture. This book first looks at how we are to imitate Christ's love and humility to effectively love the locals to whom we are ministering. Then the book covers many specific aspects of life abroad and how we can better live like the locals in many areas that some may be saved. Though this book is particularly targeted for those readers who are ministering cross-culturally, it is also a very beneficial book for Christians aiming to be light in their home country.

Год издания:
Hundreds of guidebooks about St. Petersburg begin exactly the same way: «On the 16th of May 1703, Peter the Great… blah blah blah.» Hundreds of marvellous, excellent and comprehensive books… Tell about St. Petersburg like they think they should, like the city’s story is being told for visitors or schoolchildren on an obligatory tour. And at the same time, just like every every city, St. Petersburg has as many different sides as there are passers-by on Nevsky Prospect in the weekend. And in order to get to know a house it is not enough to admire it from the outside – you have to step inside. With the help of this guidebook you will find out about the places that are significant or cult for the Peterburgians. Why are they special? Who knows… Perhaps that’s where the city’s spirit is.
