This excellent book makes short-term missions a possibility for everyday Christians. Yet it has not avoided problem areas, and so brings a realistic and honest perspective to this exploding movement. The biblical illustrations and [the Stiles's] personal stories from their wide experience means this is a must-read book for everyone going overseas.
