Clarion Anthropologist Releases Book After Three Years of Research

Laurie Occhipinti, Ph.D., professor of anthropology at Clarion University, released “Making a Difference in a Globalized World: Short-term Missions that Work” in July. Published by Rowan and Littlefield Publishing, the book is designed to give mission trip leaders framework on how to maximize their experiences while visiting other cultures. Occhipinti’s work is based on three years of personal research.

The book reveals the nature of many modern short-term mission trips, such as the circumstances of their sponsorship (many are often church-based journeys) and what these trips actually entail. Her studies have led her to the conclusion that while most trips are based on evangelical purposes, the majority of them actually focus on renovating communities in a variety of ways: building community playgrounds, offering medical help, or serving meals to the needy; however, while good-will missions are often successful, the leaders of such trips struggle with how to go about them.

“Making a Difference in a Globalized World” offers short-term mission trip leaders accessible instruction on how to plan and pursue their missions by “presenting insight and understandings gained by anthropologists and development professionals.” Using a collection of anecdotes, personal experiences and case studies, Occhipinti provides readers with an analysis of the workings of short-term missions, as well as a guide on how to accomplish the best mission possible.

The book is available at http://www.rowman.com/ISBN/9781566997164.

The Bus on Jaffa Road By Mike Kelly

I love non-fiction books that read like novels because they're so much easier to get through, and they keep my attention better. "The Bus on Jaffa Road" reads so much like a novel that, at times, I forgot it's a true story.

Being a journalist, I hate to admit that I don't know as much about terrorism, counter-terrorism and all its facets as I should, but "The Bus on Jaffa Road" helped me gain a better understanding.

Of All the Gin Joints By Mark Bailey and Edward Hemingway

If you're a fan of the stars, swagger and sometimes scandalous exploits of Old Hollywood, you will love Of All the Gin Joints. I'm not sure if you could have more fun while reading a book ... unless you were drinking a chocolate martini at the same time.

You can listen to my conversation with the author and illustrator here.
