From the Back Cover

"Often when loved ones return from humanitarian work, two worlds collide: the world of the returnee who may be overwhelmed and exhausted by the experience; and, the world of the receivers who missed them and want to share what their life has been like in their absence. This collision has the potential to create tension, unfulfilled expectations, and hurt feelings. "Receiving Them Well" is a practical guidebook full of 'tried and true' words of wisdom written by experienced humanitarian field workers to promote a culture and climate of understanding, support, and compassion so that everyone can grow together in grace and strengthen their relationship! Very Well Done!" - Tina S. Brookes, Ed.D, MSW, LCSW - The Academy-National Institute for Crisis Response Training (theacademy-nicrt.com)

"How can you better relate and therefore love your friend or family member who has been living, working, serving overseas? Take the time to read "Receiving Them Well" and you will be much better equipped on how to show love, grace and understanding. For those of you returning from an overseas experience, read this book, you will learn that many of your feelings and emotions are to be expected, you are not alone. This book will equip all to not only be gentle with the other but also yourself." - Roger Sandberg - Medical Teams International, Vice President of Field Operations

"Thoughtful, helpful and written with great insight, this book is of great value to anyone with friends and family in aid work." - Emma John - author of Following On

"Missionaries, this is THE book for all your supporters. Lisa and Lori speak with insider authority providing sage, practical advice to help Christians love those who have lived their lives in the service of others. A must read for anyone in a sending church (and if you're not, why not?)" - Harry Kraus, MD - Bestselling author and medical missionary
