| Publisher Description: Facing Danger guides cross-cultural workers through a biblical discussion on risk, providing a spiritual and practical framework for working through cross-cultural risk assessment and management. In this book, Anna E. Hampton discusses:
After living for almost a decade in the high-risk and dangerous environment of Afghanistan, Facing Danger works through how Anna attempted to raise her children without emotional and long-term trauma while simultaneously living out her calling to partner in a divine endeavor in a hostile culture. This is the real world where a biblical understanding of risk must work. |

Since that time he has ministered on every continent, written more than 40 books, pastored a church for 30 years and founded a media ministry called Telling the Truth which now broadcasts daily worldwide. He has been married to Jill for more than 55 years and has three children and thirteen grandchildren. Stuart and Jill met each other in the context of youth ministry 60 years ago when he was a bank examiner and she was a school teacher.

Individually and together they have written scores of books, pastored a church in the United States for thirty years, and founded Telling the Truth. Now in their eighties they continue to talk to anyone who will listen! They have three children and thirteen grandchildren. Stuart and Jill call suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin their home. When they are not traveling, they spend time with their three children, David, Judy and Pete, and thirteen grandchildren.Hampton, Anna E.: - Anna E.
