    Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Runner-Up for the Religion News Association's Book of the Year Award 2026"Historian Fletcher incisively explores the dark underbelly of American evangelical missionary work via the experiences of missionaries' children." Publishers Weekly, starred review"Insightful and hard-hitting." Library JournalWhat do we learn about white evangelicalism from those raised by its heroes? From historian Holly Berkley Fletcher, herself a missionary kid, comes this first-of-its-kind examination of how the experiences of missionary kids illuminate broader currents in American Christianity.As sidekicks to their parents' and churches' ambitions, missionary kids (MKs) face questions many white Christians eventually ask: about God's calling, sacrifice, faith, privilege, racism, abuse, and what belonging means. In The Missionary Kids, Fletcher reveals how MKs have intimate access to the movement's logic, longings, and ideals.With penetrating research, sly wit, and an empathic gaze, Fletcher lays bare complicated emotions and troublesome truths. She investigates how calling, multiculturalism, saints, and indispensability can distract white American Christians from their own tradition's sins and failures. Drawing on her experience as a Southern Baptist MK in Kenya, on conversations with other missionary kids, and on the work of psychologists, historians, missiologists, and researchers, Fletcher paints an intricate portrait of family life on the front lines of the missionary movement. From boarding school to war zones, and from sexual assault by adult missionaries to fending for themselves so as not to distract from the work of the Lord, MKs bear the weight of their parents' choices and their churches' ideals. Fletcher delves into the "missionary industrial complex" that shapes the lives of missionary families, listening to MKs speak of the vexing, wordless longing for the places they've lived.For many years, few people sought out MKs' real voices. God had called their parents to do great things, so the kids were beside the point. But the children of missionaries are beneficiaries of evangelicalism's rewards and victims of its failings.And now they are ready to talk. What do we learn about white evangelicalism from those raised by its heroes? Written by historian Holly Berkley Fletcher, The Missionary Kids is a first-of-its-kind look at how the experiences of children of missionaries illuminate currents in American Christianity. For a long time, few people sought out MKs' voices. Now they are ready to talk. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Runner-Up for the Religion News Association's Book of the Year Award 2026"Historian Fletcher incisively explores the dark underbelly of American evangelical missionary work via the experiences of missionaries' children." Publishers Weekly, starred review"Insightful and hard-hitting." Library JournalWhat do we learn about white evangelicalism from those raised by its heroes? From historian Holly Berkley Fletcher, herself a missionary kid, comes this first-of-its-kind examination of how the experiences of missionary kids illuminate broader currents in American Christianity.As sidekicks to their parents' and churches' ambitions, missionary kids (MKs) face questions many white Christians eventually ask: about God's calling, sacrifice, faith, privilege, racism, abuse, and what belonging means. In The Missionary Kids, Fletcher reveals how MKs have intimate access to the movement's logic, longings, and ideals.With penetrating research, sly wit, and an empathic gaze, Fletcher lays bare complicated emotions and troublesome truths. She investigates how calling, multiculturalism, saints, and indispensability can distract white American Christians from their own tradition's sins and failures. Drawing on her experience as a Southern Baptist MK in Kenya, on conversations with other missionary kids, and on the work of psychologists, historians, missiologists, and researchers, Fletcher paints an intricate portrait of family life on the front lines of the missionary movement. From boarding school to war zones, and from sexual assault by adult missionaries to fending for themselves so as not to distract from the work of the Lord, MKs bear the weight of their parents' choices and their churches' ideals. Fletcher delves into the "missionary industrial complex" that shapes the lives of missionary families, listening to MKs speak of the vexing, wordless longing for the places they've lived.For many years, few people sought out MKs' real voices. God had called their parents to do great things, so the kids were beside the point. But the children of missionaries are beneficiaries of evangelicalism's rewards and victims of its failings.And now they are ready to talk. What do we learn about white evangelicalism from those raised by its heroes? Written by historian Holly Berkley Fletcher, The Missionary Kids is a first-of-its-kind look at how the experiences of children of missionaries illuminate currents in American Christianity. For a long time, few people sought out MKs' voices. Now they are ready to talk. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
