"Based on qualitative research, this book explores and analyses issues surrounding the re-entry journey of cross-cultural mission workers. It aims to promote deeper understanding and increased awareness of the complex nature of the re-entry experience, while highlighting that loss and grief is a key aspect of it. The book advocates the necessity of a substantially more pro-active and rigorous approach in caring for mission personnel as they navigate the hugely challenging transition of 'coming home', and concludes with suggestions for ways in which this may be achieved."--Back cover.
