Honorably Wounded: Stress Among Christian Workers

Pragmatic, research-based, common-sensical, useful, straight forward, and comprehensive. I like Foyle's style and find the content useful and encouraging. Each chapter could be a book on its own–the topics she tackles are significant–but having them dealt with quickly and gathered together between one set of book covers makes this a great reference for people understanding the unique stressors in cross-cultural ministry. This book is a great starting place for pre-field workers and support teams who need to understand likely things to come, a great check-up and reflection tool for mid-career missionaries (like me), a great resource for those trying to articulate the effects of the manifold and serious stresses in the multicultural life.
