Ministering Cross-Culturally: An Incarnational Model for Personal Relationships. 2nd EDITION Sherwood G. Lingenfelter and Marvin K.

A copy of the model is provided to guide the reader in this self-reflection. Lingenfelter used his own experiences with Yap and American cultures to illustrate the differences in values measured by the model, values pertaining to time, status, vulnerability, patterns of thinking and methods of handling crisis.

POLYGAMY
by I. Gaskiyane ~ In this little book, the author deals with important questions: such as, What are the cultural reasons for polygamy in those societies which permit polygamy? How do these reasons relate to the teaching of the Bible? And, what does this mean for the local church and new converts who come from a polygamous background? Dr. I Gaskiyane is a Christian worker who has had a 35-year ministry in Africa, including work among polygamous people. He believes that the handling of polygamy in the local church is an issue of crucial importance for the church in Africa to resolve. It is an issue of interest to pastors elsewhere, too, as the practice of polygamy world-wide shows no sign of quietly fading away.

THE GREAT OMISSION
Robertson McQuilkin deals with one burning question: How come, with so many unreached peoples, there are so few Christians going? He thoroughly investigates the reasons so few Christians attempt to carry the message of Christ to the "so many" who have never heard of Him. He presents the challenge of world evangelism in an unforgettable way: "Acknowledging Christ as Lord...demands an active pursuit of God's purposes in the world. It means commitment of one's total live to make the greatest possible impact for Jesus Christ on this our generation. And for those who are not yet certain of God's vocational appointment in life, true discipleship must surely include complete openess to the most needed and most neglected of all vocations: Pioneer missionary evangelism."
