Enkeltje Thuis - Wat het thuisfront moet weten als een zendeling terugkeert...Neal Pirolo, 2001
ISBN 9080646024
Interserve Nederland
Nederlandse vertaling van The re-entry team - caring for your returning missionaries ISBN 1880185075
Veel zendelingen ervaren de terugkeer naar eigen land niet als een thuiskomen. Ze komen terug met gemengde gevoelens. Ze laten veel achter, maar wat krijgen ze er voor terug? In dit boek komt een groot aantal zendelingen aan het woord. Zij vertellen hoe het is om een "enkeltje thuis" te nemen. Vaak gaat dit gepaard met teleurstellingen. Het thuisfront blijkt doorgaans niet veel weet te hebben van de problemen waar zij doorheen gaan. De auteur geeft vanuit de Bijbel richtlijnen voor de opvang en begeleiding van terugkerende zendelingen. Het belangrijkste is volgens hem dat zij hun verhaal kunnen vertellen en dat er daadwerkelijk naar hen geluisterd wordt. Enkeltje Thuis is een werkboek voor zendingsorganisaties, gemeenten en thuisfrontcommissies.

ISBN 90-6832-560-4
Amsterdam: KIT
Nederlandse editie van "Dealing with the Dutch"
De Nederlandse (werk)cultuur , levenstijl en etiquette blijken een geheel eigen karakter te hebben. Bij buitenlanders die in Nederland werken en wonen, roepen de waarden en normen van hun Nederlandse collega's (of ondergeschikten, of buren) veel vragen op en soms irritatie. Hetzelfde wordt vaak opgeroepen bij Nederlanders die na enige jaren in het buitenland gewerkt te hebben terugkeren naar Nederland. De auteur doet in dit boek de belangrijkste kenmerken van het Nederlandse waarden- en normensysteem uit de doeken. Hij besteedt daarbij extra aandacht aan de werkcultuur.

Onderwerpen die worden behandeld zijn bijvoorbeeld: aanpassingsperikelen op het werk, het opnieuw moeten wennen aan de Nederlandse (bedrijfs)cultuur, problemen op school, partners die moeten wennen aan een nieuwe positie in gezin en samenleving.

What happens when you get back home? Will your experience abroad be completely misunderstood by your friends, church, and loved ones?

Will you begin to compare your local church, and the eight-to-five workday lives of most members, to your exhilarating experiences of prayer, evangelism, and close-quarter living with other missionaries and workers? This book helps you to work through these issues, and to commit yourself to redeem everything that God does for you, both in your experience abroad and as you share and apply what you have learned back home.

Vanuit de partner gezien - Leven en werken in de tropenIngrid Groenen, 1998
ISBN 9068325590
Amsterdam: Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen
Voorheen was het vanzelfsprekend dat de partners van expatriates automatisch meegingen naar het buitenland. Nu veel partners een eigen carrière hebben, ontstaat de zogenaamde dual-career-problematiek. Dit boek is geschreven voor hen die meegaan en voor hen die kiezen voor een eigen baan. Uitgebreid wordt ingegaan op problemen die voortkomen uit het los moeten laten van de vertrouwde Nederlandse samenleving en het gaan leven in een ander land met een andere cultuur. Er worden aanbevelingen gedaan ten aanzien van de voorbereiding op en de inrichting van het dagelijks leven in het nieuwe land. Het boek is vooral gebaseerd op ervaringen van echtgenotes van ontwikkelingserkers.

African Friends and Money Matters – Observations from AfricaDavid Maranz, 2001
ISBN 1-55671-117-4
Dallas, Texas: SIL International
African Friends and Money Matters grew out of frustrations that Westerners experience when they travel and work in Africa. Africans have just as many frustrations relating to the Westerners in their midst. Each uses and manages money and other resources in very different ways, and these differences create many misunderstandings and frictions. The author deals with everyday life in Africa. He first introduces the very different goals of African and Western economic systems and then presents ninety observations of African behaviours related to money matters. Explanatory comments are given that show how each one works out in real life. He illustrates his and others' experiences with anecdotes from across the continent. Drawings by two African artists add further clarity to the text as they capture Africans and Westerners in authentic situations. The result is that the reader is able to make sense of customs that at first seem incomprehensible.
Intercultural Marriages - Promises & pitfallsDugan Romano, 2001
ISBN 1857882938
Yarmouth, USA: Intercultural Press, Inc
Dugan Romano delivers a 'reality check' for anyone already in or contemplating an intercultural marriage, before the honeymoon is over or the romantic fantasies sweep the lovers away. Covering such specific issues as raising bicultural children and coping with death or divorce, the book identifies the three stages of relationship development and distinguishes between differences found in all relationships from those uniquely inherent in marriages that span diverse cultures as well as different countries. The author identifies nineteen trouble spots, from ethnocentrism, religion, values, and social class to male-female roles and sex. She interweaves lessons learned into strategies for turning challenges into opportunities for lasting and fulfilling relationships.

Amsterdam: KIT Publishers

Exclusion & Embrace – A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and ReconciliationMiroslav Volf, 1996
ISBN 13: 978-0-687-00282-5
Nashville: Abingdon Press
Life at the end of the twentieth century presents us with a disturbing reality. Otherness, the simple fact of being different in some way, has come to be defined as in and of itself evil. Miroslav Volf contends that if the healing word of the gospel is to be heard today, Christian theology must find ways of speaking that address the hatred of the other. Reaching back to the New Testament metaphor of salvation as reconciliation, Volf proposes the idea of embrace as a theological response to the problem of exclusion. Increasingly we see that exclusion has become the primary sin, skewing our perceptions of reality and causing us to react out of fear and anger to all those who are not within our (ever-narrowing) circle. In light of this, Christians must learn that salvation comes, not only as we are reconciled to God, and not only as we 'learn to live with one another', but as we take the dangerous and costly step of opening ourselves to the other, of enfolding him or her in the same embrace with which we have been enfolded by God.
The Wolf Shall Dwell with the Lamb – A Spirituality for Leadership in a Multicultural CommunityEric H.F. Law, 1993
ISBN 9780827242319
St. Louis, Missouri: Chalice Press

It is an attempt to begin the dialogue and theological reflection on what it means, spiritually and practically, to be a leader in a multicultural community. It also offers some practical processes and ideas.

ISBN 0801026474
