Description: Avoiding and overcome unhealthy dependency in the Christian movement. The book contains a description of the dependency syndrome, its historical development and how to overcome it. Though unhealthy dependency is widespread, it does not need to be considered an incurable illness.

Learn about churches that were once victims of unhealthy dependency but learned themselves how to overcome it, along with many practical illustrations and suggestions for those in Christian service who face the challenge of avoiding or overcoming unhealthy dependency. Other items include medical mission institutions, short-term missions, and, most significantly, long-term missionary service. Several chapters are a basic introduction to cross-cultural issues for missionaries and church leaders. Author Glenn Schwartz welcomes interaction with those who want to seriously deal with the mentality of dependency in the Christian movement. 373-pg paperback.
