Mack & Leeann's Guide to Short-Term Missions

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book for team preparation
Review: I have gone thru many STM trainings and book readings. This is the best book I've read and it's an excellent resource for both the goer and trainer, it's captured all the important element for the team and individual success. It's very easy to read, with lots of practical advices, and the author always use real world stories to get to his point. I really love this book and I cannot put it down until I finished it at 3am.

Summary: This is it
Review: If you're interested in a book about short-term missions that is to the point in an easy reading style, this is the book for you. This book is written by a couple that has been leading short-term mission trips for many years. They've seen it all.
The chapters are short and cover the "stuff" you need to know;practical advice in a spiritual context.

Summary: Stands out in the crowd of Short Term Missions literature
Review: Mack and Leeann's guide is definitely a valuable addition to the newly emerging flood of books about Short Term Missions. What makes their contribution distinct is their understanding of Short Terms as a valuable part of God's mission to the world, rather than simply as a "farm league" for potential long-term missionaries, or as a way to envigorate a stagnant youth group. STM's are more than light entertainment for bored high-school students, and Mack and Leeann communicate this effectively and practically in this concise and readable guide. Chapter after chapter contain stories from their own experiences which also make this book unique.
