Description
A Christian’s Pocket Guide to the Chinese
By: OMF
This book is designed to help you if you have regular interaction with people from China. Firstly, it gives you a brief outline of the major changes that have taken place in recent history so that you can understand their cultural background.
China is a vast and sprawling country with many different cultures and subcultures. When encountering Chinese people, one must be aware of many nuances to be able to bridge the cultural divide. Their upbringing, schooling and religion are substantially different than Americans, so their actions, reactions and ways of looking at things can sometimes bewilder those unfamiliar to their lifeways.
This fascinating book provides Christians with a simple description of the basics of Chinese culture, what Chinese people typically believe and how it affects their attitudes, worldview, everyday life and culture. Practical guidelines are given for relating to Chinese people in a culturally appropriate way, as well as for witnessing and caring for converts. If you long to reach Chinese friends but are wondering where to start then this might just be the book for you.
