In this era of low-cost airfare, ecotourism, adventure vacations and short-term mission trips, Christians are traveling abroad in larger numbers than ever before -- often to increasingly remote and potentially dangerous destinations. Many of these travelers do not give much thought to security, either due to naiveté or from the mistaken notion that to consider one''s personal security indicates a lack of faith in God. Other travelers do think about security, but too much, and worry and fear ruin their trip. In Shrewd as Serpents, Gentle as Doves, security and terrorism expert Scott Stewart explains how to practice a balanced, common-sense approach to travel security that begins with preparation for the trip. Scott also teaches readers how to practice a relaxed, sustainable level of situational awareness and equips travelers with a number of practical security tools and tips that will help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip abroad.

If you want to safeguard yourself and family, you should read this book." -- Fred Burton, Vice President, Stratfor and author of Ghost and Chasing Shadows "This book is a much-needed, well-written treatment of not only the subject of safety and security for short-term mission trips, but it''s equally applicable to anyone involved in missions to any degree, short- or long-term.

Student evaluations have been commonly used in determining the success of a course and the effectiveness of its instructor. This research study seeks to identify what graduating students and alumni perceive to be of most value in courses, and in turn the relationship of those perceptions with the information in evaluations conducted at the conclusion of individual courses. Empirical results based on student and alumni survey data suggest key recommendations for both instructors and university presidents. If instructors want students, once they become alumni, to be satisfied with their course experience, they need to teach material which will be truly useful in their careers, even if students don''t fully appreciate it during class. And if presidents want satisfied alumni, they need to ensure their school''s curriculum includes material that may be applied in the real world, and that the measures of teaching effectiveness utilized for compensation purposes, don''t stress too highly traditional measures of student satisfaction.
