This book is built on twenty-three propositions about communication, propositions that, when taken together, encompass fundamental truths about human communication from a Christian perspective. Creating Understanding puts communication media into proper perspective. It makes meaning and understanding the focus of the effort of communication. It is committed to having the purposes of communication determine the means to be employed. This book is a foundation on which the enterprise of Christian ministry can be built or refined. It provides perspective, constantly, on the ways the cultural landscape is informing and affecting the communication process.
Although originally published in 1992, this classic book, is still used in the classroom and in the mission field. It is available in both soft cover and eBook versions. Recent adoptions by institutions of higher education include Biola University and Moody Bible Institute-Spokane.

The book is interesting as it highlights what we instinctively already know and try to arrange and highlight how to use it best. Some chapters probably can be deleted or merged and some updates may be in order.Product details

Creating Understanding Christian Communication Across Cultural Landscapes edition by Donald K Smith Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Don Smith has developed an excellent approach to learning communication in a cross-cultural setting - be it in another country, another ethnic group in your own, with your neighbor, who happens to come from a different background ... or with your wife! With his thorough explanation of the 23 propositions of human communication, combined with witty, explicit illustrations, Don Smith helps anyone who desires to be understood reach their goal. Especially helpful to me were the chapters on the 12 signal systems. I am an American living in Germany - working with Germans and internationals. Understanding the signal systems of communication has helped me to better learn my guest culture and understand what was being communicated - and to be understood as I attempted communication as well.
This book is written from a Christian perspective with communication of the Christian message in mind - however, don't let that hinder you from profiting from this valuable work. His bibliography 'communicates' the extent of his research in religious as well as secular circles.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to 'create understanding' in the mind of someone else.
I had the privilege of studying under Dr. Smith during my days in seminary. As this book shows he is a master communicator. Creating Understanding is a must read for those wanting to improve their effectiveness in cross-cultural situations. It is especially important for those who are still in their first four years of cross-cultural ministry, or better yet have not yet left for the field. Do you want to reduce conflict while increasing understanding? Avoiding the communication landmines that dot the cultural landscapes of our world requires skill and determination. Interact with Smith's 23 propositions and you will discover yourself on the road to becoming a master communicator.

Book in Great Condition Thanks!
I am using this book as a textbook for school. Two of the pages that I needed to do an assignment is missing. This can affect my grade. Thanks, Mavis
No problems! Book just as described and came quickly. Thanks!
This book is very helpful for anyone who is looking do to ministry in another culture overseas or with people from another culture here.
My husband likes this so much that he bought three copies to give to teammates!
The book is interesting as it highlights what we instinctively already know and try to arrange and highlight how to use it best. Some chapters probably can be deleted or merged and some updates may be in order.
