Review: A Most Necessary Read (For Me Anyway) - A year ago, I moved to an honor/shame culture to serve Jesus and it didn't take me long to realize that it was VERY different from my own American culture. I asked family and friends to pray for my understanding of cultural issues and how to handle problems in a culturally AND biblically appropriate way. I got an answer to this prayer in the form of this book! Oh, my! I wish I had read this before I came to this country! I read another book, which was similar, in my training called the 3-D Gospel which talked about three different culture types: guilt/innocence, which is typically America and Europe, fear/power, which is mostly cultures that have animistic beliefs (Africa), and shame/honor which is the Middle-east, South Asia, and South East Asia. (Although every culture sees aspects of each of these types, each culture has a predominate one.) "3D" is a great introductory book, but it mainly contrasts and compares the three cultures and shares why it is important to understand the type of culture in which you serve. This 'Ministering' books goes into much greater detail on how to communicate honor to those individuals within a shame/honor culture. This book first takes a reader through the cultural anthropology of a shame/honor culture and how it appears in real life and differs from the guilt/innocence culture. Then there is a section showing examples of shame/honor in the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. Lastly, there is a section on using this knowledge in practical ministry using real life stories from the authors. It addresses the question of how do you bestow honor on people in a culturally appropriate way while rejecting their practices that are not God honoring without dishonoring them. This book covers an amazingly important topic: The ability to evangelize the remaining 6992 unreached people groups in the world! This is because most of those people groups are in shame/honor cultures. I would highly recommend this book to anyone serving among people from shame/honor cultures, especially to those who are new to ministry (like me) or are preparing to go. But I would also recommend this book to individuals working with internationals in the US and Europe because, of course, they bring their cultural beliefs to their new country just like I brought mine to this one. I truly believe that God brought this book to my attention and it has already been a tremendous help!
Review: Very insightful book - This book has been hugely helpful for understanding the honor/shame culture we are working in. After living in this new culture for 10 years, this book has helped us see things from a whole new perspective. I cannot recommend it enough particularly for people living or working with a different culture from their own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Most Necessary Read (For Me Anyway)
*by L***K on December 20, 2017*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK FOR MISSIONS FOR WESTERN MISSIONARIES!
*by C***E on October 3, 2020*

I have been a missionary for 12 years in Tanzania, Brazil, and Korea. I got my M.A. in Missions from ACU. But, by far, this book changed my entire perspective of missions. It is a "MUST READ" for anyone doing missions in Brazil, Africa, Middle East, or Asia. It helped me teach the Bible to Korean college students from an Honor/Shame perspective that they truly understood. I will never forget explaining what the Prodigal Son meant to Korean students at chapel. They were crying and one came up and said, "I hate my father, but am interested in God the Father." I had many come to me saying, "We never understood the Bible before but now it makes sense." I re-wrote my entire story of God study. I wish I would have had this book in Africa. I was still in a western mindset. I did not have the words, "honor/shame" to work from, but began realizing in Tanzania we were not getting into the hearts of the people. This is the BEST investment. Practical, simple, and lots of good illustrations.
