Description: This book reflects the author's work over eight years as a missionary in Bangladesh, where she was involved with the United Bible Society and the Bangladesh Bible Society, then the Bangladesh Lutheran Church-Danish Mission and the Bangladesh Lutheran Church, despite the fact that Tess herself was a Pentecostal, in teaching literacy to the Bangladeshi people. The methods Tess advocates here were based on her actual fieldwork during her years there. Dave Johnson, DMiss Managing Editor, Asian Journal of Pentecostal Studies
