Dowry in Africa: A Wife Purchased or a Wife Cherished?

Posted on January 1, 2006 by
January 1, 2006

The dowry is going the way of many other important cultural practices in Africa —down the hill of eroding values. The going rate for an educated wife in Kenya today could be as much as a Mitsubishi Pajero.

Posted on January 1, 2006 by
January 1, 2006

The title, In War and Famine, sounds like part of a wedding vow, to be followed by “in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer, ‘til death do us part.” Perhaps the author intended as much.

Posted on January 1, 2006 by
January 1, 2006

Posted on January 1, 2006 by
January 1, 2006

It’s great to see Christians meeting with Muslims to discuss how we can get along—and even better when the Christian representatives share a firm faith in the gospel.

Education for Behavior Change: Three Essential Stories

Posted on January 1, 2006 by
January 1, 2006

Motivating people to change behavior is difficult. We hang tenaciously onto habits because they have deep roots in our cultural values and beliefs.

Not Less Than Everything: The Courageous Women Who Carried the Christian Gospel to China

Posted on January 1, 2006 by
January 1, 2006

In 1900, two-thirds of the missionaries serving in China were women. Not Less Than Everything by Valerie Griffiths details the stories of such women, mostly serving with the China Inland Mission, who took the gospel message to China from the 1820s to the mid-1900s.

Posted on January 1, 2006 by
January 1, 2006

January 1, 2006
