- Summary:
- Written in English and Korean, Cultural Tug of War takes us into the lives of Korean parents and their children trying to build their lives in a new world, and gives insights on how to minister to them.
- Since World War II, the world has seen an unprecedented migration of people around the world. Outsiders look at the prospects these immigrants have in their new lands, but the immigrants are caught in the unforeseen cultural dislocation such movements create. The hopes of many of them are shattered as they collide with a new culture, and they realize painfully that they will not be able to preserve their cultures in the new lands.
