Story Behind The Book
When I would blog about my time in Asia or Africa, people used to leave me comments telling me I should write a book. At the time there seemed to be no cohesion to my life story and I couldn't imagine what the book could possibly be about.
And then I went through something very challenging in my personal life, and saw how God worked through it. I discovered that this was the key. God's grace and goodness in my life was the cohesive element to my story. From there I started writing my book.
