Sommario/riassunto

Joy and Perseverance for Women in Cross-Cultural Ministry  More Screams, Different Deserts is another invitation to join Sue on her adventures in cross-cultural living and biblical studies that have helped her along the way. With twenty-seven years of experience in cross cultural ministry, Sue realizes that joy and perseverance are essential for thriving in life and ministry. Her stories and insights encourage women to look to Jesus, our only hope wherever we live.   Stories, ranging from one corner of the world to another, include discovering a forgotten museum, protecting her children from chocolate, visiting a camel market, and meeting wild pigs on a nighttime walk. God has been her refuge, and his Word held her steady when all she really wanted to do was run away and hide. Questions and resources at the end of each chapter will help readers think through personal application and find additional help.

This book presents a number of valuable case studies that illustrate some of the perspectives that may be adopted in the study of animals in the urban context. It covers areas such as, working and productive animals in the nineteenth century, animal spectacles in the nineteenth century, contested animal spaces in the city and the problem of the public companion animal and its role in changing attitudes to public space.
