MK EssentialsNov 07, 2007
By Dazoo
This volume is an encyclopedic summary of topics dealing with matters of importance in the spiritual, psychological and educational lives of missionary kids. The contributors to this work include a number of well-known figures in the member care arena: Joyce Bowers, David Pollock, Ted Ward, John Powell, David Wickstrom, and many others. Each contributor offers considerable expertise in their respective topical areas.
The major divisions of the book are as follows:
I. Historical Perspective (International Conferences on Missionary Kids are reviewed)
II. MKs, TCKs, and the Body of Christ (highlights the need for discipling and caring for MKs)
III. Understanding MKs and TCKs (Third culture influences, transitions, college and career choices, adult MKs)
IV. Resilient Families (parenting, family dynamics, and developmental issues concerning missionary families)
V. Educational Issues (MK education overview, transcultural education, language learning, boarding school curriculum issues, administrative and staff issues, special educational needs)
VI. Collaboration (research and regional networks)
VII. Looking Toward the Future (trends in missions and member care, future educational issues)
Most of the chapters are four to ten pages in length. There are over forty contributors. Some are primarily theoreticians and some are primarily practitioners. The content is drawn primarily from International Conference on Missionary Kids presentations which have been edited for publication.
Bowers, et.al. have done an outstanding job of pulling together the best and the brightest thinkers in the member care world in this text. The wide array of topics covered is staggering. That is both a strength and a weakness of the book. It affords brief snapshots offering the bottom line on a number of issues but not a full exploration of most topics. Raising Resilient Mks is perhaps best appreciated as an encyclopedic reference volume. It is the definitive book dealing with MK/TCK concerns. Third Culture Kids by Ruth van Reken and David Pollock runs a close second in my opinion. The latter book is less broad in its focus concentrating more on the experience of being a TCK as opposed to providing caregivers, teachers, and parents with information. Raising Resilient MKs is currently out of print. I hope it gets updated and put back in circulation. It is a clssic in its field. Any member care provider should have it in his/her library.
