{"product_id":"book-obhg","title":"The Missionary Kids","description":"As sidekicks to their parents' and churches' ambitions, missionary kids (MKs) face questions many white Christians eventually ask: about God's calling, sacrifice, faith, privilege, racism, abuse, and what belonging means. In \u003ci\u003eThe Missionary Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, Holly Berkley Fletcher reveals how MKs have intimate access to the movement's logic, longings, and ideals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on her experience as a Southern Baptist MK in Kenya, on conversations with other missionary kids, and on the work of psychologists, historians, missiologists, and researchers, Fletcher paints an intricate portrait of family life on the front lines of the missionary movement. From boarding school to war zones, and from sexual assault by adult missionaries to fending for themselves so as not to distract from the work of the Lord, MKs bear the weight of their parents' choices and their churches' ideals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor many years, few people sought out MKs' real voices. God had called their parents to do great things, so the kids were beside the point. But the children of missionaries are beneficiaries of evangelicalism's rewards and victims of its failings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd now they are ready to talk.","brand":"christianaudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50024801763632,"sku":"BDobhg","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":50024801796400,"sku":"ZEobhg","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":50024801829168,"sku":"ZMobhg","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/obhg-Square-cover.jpg?v=1769756249","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-obhg","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
