Foreign to Familiar
Foreign to Familiar is an engaging, well-researched work on cultures.
If the world were roughly divided into “hot climate” and “cold climate” cultures, what could one half of humanity learn from the other? Lanier — the daughter of missionaries and an experienced world traveler — writes insightfully on topics including…
- Relationship vs. task orientation
- Direct vs. indirect communication
- Individualism vs. group identity
- Different concepts of hospitality around the world.
Sarah’s love and sensitivity for people of all nations will touch your heart!
