This is an important book for all missions and missionaries working in high risk contexts. The author explains a theology of risk, describes cross-cultural risk, speaks to common misunderstandings about risk, and details how to create a risk plan. I appreciated much she had to see, and felt gratified to see that or mission is doing most of what she recommends. However, I found the book to be overly long and in need of some editing as many sentences just weren't structured well. I found it quite boring in places and at times it was tough to keep going.
