This book delivers what it promises! Here are 50 cogent chapters from the widest selection of writers in the member care field to date. Part 2 alone is worth the price of the book, as it provides a much-needed platform for our international colleagues from the New Sending Countries to share about the development of their own models. Doing Member Care Well takes member care beyond it's usual boundaries. It internationalizes this field of service, and it increases our resources for Christian workers by including perspectives from the humanitarian aid, human resource, and international health sectors. Well done!

Missionaries, like long-distance runners, need training, care and coaching to 'run with endurance for the race set before them.' Dr. Kelly O'Donnell's book both encourages and instructs the church around the world as it seeks to support its mission personnel. It is highly readable and relevant for us in Africa, and it will be an invaluable tool for sending organizations as they work to provide and develop member care resources.
