Peterson mentions the book The Poisenwood Bible in her first chapter as an example of literature critiquing western missions. Can you think of other examples you have read of these types of books? Which ones are important? Which ones miss the mark?

In the light of the female missionaries Peterson mentions in this interlude, who would you say are the saints for American female evangelicals? Currently, and in the past?

Did you grow up reading missionary biographies? If so, which ones stood out to you? Do you have a favorite example from this genre? Can you think of a missionary biography that might strike you now as problematic or strange or misguided?

Since this section addresses short-term missions, what are your favorite books about the topic? How have they shaped how you have processed the idea of "short-term" missions?
