Originally written as a doctoral dissertation, “Why Missionaries Quit: Proven Tips for Longevity” by Dr. Tom Latham is an insightful and essential guide that aims to support and empower missionaries. With over five decades of firsthand experience as a missionary in Brazil, he offers a candid and practical exploration of the challenges that often lead missionaries to leave the field prematurely. He provides a wealth of practical advice, personal anecdotes, and biblical wisdom to prepare current and aspiring missionaries for the realities of cross-cultural ministry.
Dr. Latham organized this fully indexed book into six chapters, each addressing a critical aspect of missionary life: cultural adaptation, interpersonal relationships, financial challenges, evangelism issues, church leadership transition, and family dynamics, and providing practical strategies that can be applied directly in real missionary situations.
It is a must-read for anyone involved in or considering missionary work. Its blend of practical advice, spiritual guidance, and real-world examples makes it an invaluable resource for navigating the complexities of life and ministry in foreign cultures. Dr. Latham’s dedication to the cause of Christ and his deep understanding of the missionary experience shine through on every page. This book is a testament to his legacy and a beacon for those who seek to serve God in challenging environments and make a lasting impact for Christ.
A pre-publication review concluded that this book, spawned by a doctoral dissertation, is “a 5-star masterpiece that equips, encourages, and inspires missionaries to persevere in their calling.”
A powerful and practical guide for missionary work, supported by over 50 years of experience. Read invaluable insights into the challenges missionaries face, including culture shock, financial struggles, interpersonal conflicts, and family life.
