What People are Saying about A Smoldering Wick
"The book has encouraged me to take a big step back and examine everything in terms of our work in Nicaragua: my motives, my god-complex, my savior complex, my definition of poverty, and especially how I talk to others about the work we'll do and how we 'market' it for financial supporters." |
"A Smoldering Wick should be required reading for anyone participating in a short-term mission trip whether it's across the street or to the other side of the world. As an African, I have seen first-hand the damaging consequences of ill-conceived trips on receiving communities, and we must do better than this. Gena Thomas makes a comprehensive and insightful contribution to this effort and does so with grace and humility." |
"For those of us who know that the crisis facing Western missions is every bit as much a matter of theology as it is sustainability, this book is a true gift. As only a careful and seasoned practitioner could, Gena Thomas has written a book that belongs to a small but growing collection of resources that are vital for helping us develop a new vision and practice for participating in God's global mission." |
