African Proverbs Reveal Christianity in Culture

Evangelism & Missions

“"Jay's work with Ghanaian proverbs is one of the deepest, most practical examples of missionary teaching/learning I have ever seen. Getting down to the proverbial level of local language and culture has paid off handsomely in his situation. Now he has done missionaries and local leaders young and old a great favor by sketching why it worked, how it worked, and how it can work for them. What could be more useful for mission today? Read and do!”

Communication in Mission and Development

Evangelism & Missions

“Few can fail to notice the massive disconnect between Africa and every attempt to 'help' it from the outside. Harries pins a lot of the blame for this disconnect in an unexpected place--superficial Western assumptions about communication, racism, and dualism. How long will Africa suffer because outsiders are not seeing what Harries is pointing out?”

Intercultural Discipleship

Christian Living

“If this book gets the reading it deserves, we are at the dawning of a great new day for making disciples, and not just overseas. Skillfully drawing on several works that were ahead of their time (e.g., Symbol and Ceremony by A. H. Mathias Zahniser), Moon tells fascinating, instructive stories of those who practice what they preach. I had to keep putting the book down to add ideas to my to-do list.”
