What is leadership? No doubt people will define it differently. But this is as it should be for we live in a multi-cultural world that requires not only different understandings, but an understanding of how those assumptions will affect if, and how people will follow a leader. Mono-cultural leaders effective as they have been are now not only outdated, the very instruments that were so effective will now work against their leadership in multi-cultural context. Where to go from here?In Leading Across Cultures: Effective Ministry and Mission in the Global Church develops theories on how Christian can penetrate the cultural divide by examining how we should understand the nature of leadership abstractly, as well as the ways our cultural understandings need to be adjusted for use in other contexts. This is further grounded in a highly developed theology of leadership, rooted in the biblical paradigm. This book promises to be a valuable resource for anyone who wants to be involved in cross-cultural ministry, whether in overseas missions, multi-ethnic churches, or any other kind of multi-cultural ministry. It will also be particularly informative and helpful for missions organizations in seeking to establish training standards for missionary work, and for vetting possible candidates.

"Back in my day we had to walk uphill both ways in the snow." I grew up hearing stories like this from my parents and grandparents all the time, and my eyes seemed to be in a perpetual state of rolling.

It's also amazing how the more I deal with younger generations; I find myself using this...
