Cross-cultural Marriages
Anyone recommend any books on cross-cultural romantic friendships/marriages? This isn't just for those who meet their spouses on the mission field but perhaps also for those who meet someone from another culture in their home area. Books that explore the issues they might face would be good to know about. Then we can add these to OSCAR's book list.
Read more…Which ones would you keep?
I am trying (with minimal success) to 'thin out' my library ahead of a probable move. It has started me wondering what are my top 20...top 10...top 5...?So...if you were only allowed to keep FIVE books, which five would you keep? (Desert-Island-Discs style, you have a Bible in addition to the five!)

Book Desription
“Using the metaphor of a tree we explore the historical, out-of-sight root system and its evolutionary origin while looking forward to its purpose and goal through the use of God technology, dark intel and the tools of self-determination (humanism). Are we the result of an evolutionary process, or have we been duped into believing the technological revolution and other global transitions have successfully moved us towards a better future?”

Persevering Prayer: Growing Church Supernaturally
1 Dec 2005Paperback
SCATTER by Andrew Scott
Have just this past week discovered this book by a good friend of mine. It was mentioned in a website that I found on a prayer update. Interesting trail... Amazon delivered at high-speed in a couple of days... Now starting to read it but sense it has much of value to share.
The subject of serving where you are with your entrusted gifts and professional experience is one that I believe is worth promoting. Maybe I will draft a blog post about the concept sometime.... watch this page as they say.... Andrew is the country coordinator of an international group. David
