"Your people shall be my people..."

When Ruth the Moabite said these powerful words, she was modeling a form of cross-cultural life that is essential for men and women who seek to serve God today.

Crossing Cultures with Ruth offers Kingdom workers encouragement and inspiration as they discern and work out God's call in their lives. The book also provides practical insights based in Nelson's years of Fruitful Practice research into the best means and methods of missionary outreach. Here are just a few of the lessons from the book of Ruth:

• Commit to and identify with those you serve
• Cross cultures boldly
• Know how to remain on the field effectively
• Minister out of your own life—and out of your own loss
• Earn your reputation so that it can be spent
• Trust in the Master’s partnership and promises
