Relational Intercultural Communication for Relational Intercultural Education explores the intersection between communication and education from a Relational Interactive perspective. In this book we introduce: A communication cycle that looks at the interactions between the perceptions of hearer, the expressions of speaker, and the volition and thinking patterns of both. A developmental process that considers the role of relationship in bringing about transformative change. A practical theology that recognizes the active involvement of Triune God within human communication and education.

This book is a sequel to an earlier publication by Enoch Wan & Jon Raibley, Transformational Change in Christian Ministry (2022) which provided the theoretical framework for this book. While the focus of the earlier work is on "transformational change" generally, this one is on "transformational growth" specifically dealing with the practice of leadership, discipleship, and mentorship within intercultural context.
