Recent decades have seen an ever-increasing number of Western Christians going abroad as English teachers. Many of these teachers are going to countries that are not very receptive to other forms of Western Christian mission. Some Western Christians view English teaching primarily as a means to gain access to "closed" countries for the purpose of evangelistic outreach. Other Western Christians see it mainly as a form of social service. Snow’s well-thought-out details of how to bear witness, engage in ministry, serve the poor, contribute to peace, and build bridges of understanding between churches clearly show the special role of Christian mission that Christian English teachers can have.

English Teaching as Christian Mission: An Applied Theology
Kind of a mixed bag. As several people have pointed out, there's not a lot in here that suggests there's something specially, uniquely Christian about certain values Snow espouses (hospitality, humility, peacemaking, intercultural understanding, empathy, etc), but still I came away from this book with my (Christian) humanist motivation for being a language teacher intact and even strengthened. I'm sure the more critical scholars (like some of my professors!) would take Snow to task for the relatively "unpolitical" positions he takes, but then again I don't think compassion is unpolitical.
I'm glad I read this book and I'd reccommend it to any North American Christian planning to teach English overseas.
