"This is practical missiology at its best"

Leading Cross-Culturally draws on biblical principles to offer a practical guide to effective multicultural leadership in a variety of settings.

"Sherwood Lingenfelter, a veteran in the study of cross-cultural ministry and an accomplished leader, combines his intercultural experience and judicious study of cross-cultural leadership with biblical-theological reflections and creative use of empirical cases. This book should be in the hands of everyone already in cross-cultural leadership as well as those who are considering entering the field. The integration of kingdom vision with intercultural leadership is laudable."
--Lalsangkima Pachuau, Asbury Theological Seminary

"Many good leaders fail to make a lasting kingdom impact by undermining the role of cultural values in team and work dynamics. In this insightful and exceptionally practical book, Sherwood Lingenfelter points us to the three essential components for lasting kingdom impact: leadership, cultural values, and the Word of God."
--Bambang Budijanto, Compassion International

"No one is better qualified to tackle the thorny challenges of cross-cultural leadership than Sherwood Lingenfelter. Forged out of Dr. Lingenfelter's lifetime of experience in the field, in the classroom and educational administration, and in global consulting, Leading Cross-Culturally brings together a rare blend of anthropology, leadership theory, and theology that calls cross-cultural team members into covenant relationships centered on Christ and the cross. This is practical missiology at its best."
--Tom Steffen, School of Intercultural Studies, Biola University

"[Lingenfelter] analyzes case studies and provides illustrations which demonstrate that it is possible to exercise anointed, power-giving leadership that builds communities of trust empowered to achieve a common faith vision. In doing so, he provides a unique book that is extremely relevant to leaders or potential leaders in cross-cultural contexts--short-term, local church, parachurch organization, or mission agency."
