I’m now ending my first 2 years of living overseas and decided to reread the book.I’m a pre-griever. It was so helpful to have so many of my current emotions affirmed through this book. Amy really does a great job at affirming “this behavior/feeling/etc” is normal and then giving practical action steps or things to think through. She also does a great job at giving personal examples while also acknowledging the wide range of experiences overseas workers may have depending on a variety of factors.Honestly. I may reread this book every time I have a transition to or from the field. I feel certain that in each transition, different aspects of the book will stick out to me and be helpful. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Okay *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2022* Good analogies and examples, but could have more variety of examples or share more people's experiences to apply to more people. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reading this book was just the hand-holding I needed... *by B***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2016* You need to know a few things about Amy. First, Amy wrote the book because of her twenty years of experiences as a missionary, or “third culture person” or something…I can’t keep track of the lingo. I’m sorry, I’m 47 and I still just call her a missionary. Second, she has a counseling degree, which is very evident in the way she writes — she just knows how hearts and minds work. Third, she is hilarious and quirky and authentic, if you are blessed enough to know her in person. Or can you get that sense from reading the book, too.When I heard about her book title, Looming Transitions: Starting and Finishing Well in Cross-Cultural Service, I had two thoughts: (1) Wow, I have a looming transition since we have less than six months till my hubby retires (2) Oh wait, he is in military service, so we’re not part of cross-cultural service (unless you count being from the deep South and living in the Arizona desert).I wondered if this book was for me. Oh my. Yes.Looming Transitions is about how to finish well when you are in the midst of a huge life transition. Amy examines the nuts and bolts of change — like when and how to start getting ready to pack up your life into moving boxes, or how to say your goodbyes in a way that honors relationships, or how to deal with the emotional fatigue that comes from big change. Amy explains why we struggle and tells us what we can do to make the best of things, even in our weakness.What does it mean to finish well? I think that it means to honor God and people up to the very end. Even when you might be tempted to cut and run. Or even when you are so emotionally wrung out that you cannot find nice words say, or nice thoughts to think.Amy teaches us how to remember the bigger picture, how to find much-needed connection with the people and places you are leaving, how not to get bogged down by details like paperwork or moving arrangements, and how to find God’s best, in the mess. Or, as Amy might say, finding God’s best in the Messy Middle.
