One missionary said, "Missions committees would benefit by the 'insider perspective' it offers and could help them be more wise and thoughtful in the works they support and encourage. Also, anyone thinking about being called to missions would benefit by reading this." "[To Africa On a Lark] is extremely readable, with an easy to follow flow. The stories are quite engaging... The overall theme of cross-cultural adjustment, with the "razor" image, comes through clearly." Rev. J. Nelson Jennings, PhD, Editor, Global Missiology.

For everyone else, especially we 'experts, ' this book is a helpful lesson in humility - learning again the limits of our learning!" Rev.
