Practical support for life across cultures

Connie Befus’s workbook addresses the personal demands of living far from home in a different culture, including language and identity changes, competing responsibilities, fatigue, and the losses that can accompany relocation. Its chapters bring psychologically based coping skills together with Scripture and spiritual disciplines. The emphasis is on developing ways to manage stress, attend to personal needs, and build relationships that can endure over time. The book frames cross-cultural adjustment as both a practical and spiritual process, offering material for newcomers as well as people with prior experience living abroad.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • New or experienced sojourners adjusting to life in another culture
  • People seeking faith-integrated approaches to stress and cross-cultural relationships
  • Those involved in Christian missions or ministry

Book overview

Sojourners are people who venture far from home to live in a foreign place and culture. They have amazing adventures and experience significant fulfillment, but along with the adventure and fulfillment comes a unique set of stressors, losses, and struggles: struggles in understanding a different culture, a new language, a new identity and in figuring out how to balance many demands with legitimate personal needs. Fatigue is a frequent and understandable result.

This workbook is designed to help the new sojourner, or an experienced one, to develop personal skills for managing the stress, mourning the losses, and crafting a lifestyle that leads to sojourner health on every level.

Throughout each chapter, psychologically based coping skills are integrated with Scriptural truth and spiritual disciplines to provide a foundation for healthy cross-cultural living and effective relationships that last for the long term.
