In this era of low-cost airfare, ecotourism, adventure vacations and short-term mission trips, Christians are traveling abroad in larger numbers than ever before -- often to increasingly remote and potentially dangerous destinations. Many of these travelers do not give much thought to security, either due to naivet or from the mistaken notion that to consider one's personal security indicates a lack of faith in God. Other travelers do think about security, but too much, and worry and fear ruin their trip.
In Shrewd as Serpents, Gentle as Doves, security and terrorism expert Scott Stewart explains how to practice a balanced, common-sense approach to travel security that begins with preparation for the trip. Scott also teaches readers how to practice a relaxed, sustainable level of situational awareness and equips travelers with a number of practical security tools and tips that will help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip abroad.
