Intended to aid the reentry process, this encouraging, and insightful book deals with these important subjects
- adapting to the passport culture
- identifying areas of potential struggle
- dealing with the emotional challenges
- relocation—finding a new job, a new place to live, learning the social mores
- teenagers—returning is not coming

Submitted by Miki on Sun, 11/18/2007 - 01:59.Christian mission is no longer a matter of missionaries from the West going to the rest of the world.
