Review:

Sarah Lanier is not only a perceptive author, but she has also lived and worked cross culturally worldwide. I have observed Sarah professionally, as a teacher and consultant, on six continents. She has character, insight and experience that qualify her to share intercultural wisdom that will be live-changing for her readers. --Loren cunningham, President University of the Nations -- Loren Cunningham "President, University of the Nations"

The "Foreign" in the title of this ost-helpful book once meant people and culters "overseas." Today that has all changed. Sarah Lanier has captured the keys to understanding our own--and other's--way of doing and saying things. I guarantee that if you follow the principles in this book that the boundaries of your world view will expand. -- Peter Jordan "Author of Re-Entry"
