Each chapter tells the true stories of men and women forever changed by Jesus’ love and power.

Download or read book Confessions of a Reluctant Missionary written by Steve Norwood and published by WinePress Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Unforgettable Trip beyond Tinker Toys and Toothpaste When a friend invites Steve Norwood on a mission trip to Honduras, he's initially skeptical, viewing the trip as little more than an opportunity to dutifully hand out Christmas gift boxes to children. But when he takes a life-changing step of faith, though reluctantly, God opens his eyes to a people-and another world-in desperate need of his love and God's grace. Follow Steve's spiritual metamorphosis and his day-to-day adventures-from his delivery of toys and rice to the poorest in Central America to his poignant, often poetic observations about what's important in life amid simple coffee growers, campesinos, and fellow missionaries in the highest mountain villages. Steve's unexpected encounter with the poverty, love, and faith of the Honduran people provides the stunning answer to the ageless question that has haunted his journey since he left the States. Why should I go? Plus, don't miss Steve's practical survival tips, a must-have for Third World travelers. "I feel like I have just been plunked into a great epic movie. The descriptions are gorgeously tangible. I love this story because so many of us have contributed to the Christmas shoe box campaigns. It's really cool to see a mission trip from this side-before you leave-and then compare it to what happens after you get there. As one who has given a shoe box or two, I am intrigued about how they are given and received. What a great concept for a book " - Heidi Rafferty, freelance journalist and writer, Lexington, Kentucky "Having walked in the shoes of a reluctant missionary myself, I find this story very familiar as Steve Norwood recounts his experiences one day at a time as a new missionary in a Third World country. As the story unfolds, I feel as though I am part of his team, experiencing the highs and lows, the hardships, the discomforts, the adventure, and mostly the joy of learning what the Lord is revealing and teaching the person willing to go out unto the nations in Jesus' name. I find the book loaded with details and advice on the do's and don'ts of a beginner missionary, but the underlying theme of the subtle transformation going on internally in the heart of the author is a beautiful thread woven throughout the book." - Cathy Cantelli, Director of Sponsorship, Mama Tara Miskito Orphanage, Puerto Lempira, Honduras
Download or read book Confessions of a Rogue Missionary written by Henry Rambow and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a National Merit Scholar majoring in physics at Rice University, Henry Rambow thought he was a rational person. But primed by years of Sunday School and haunted by a promise made as a terrified child, he nevertheless fell head over heels into a fundamentalist brand of Christianity. Confessions of a Rogue Missionary is an account of his struggle--and eventual failure--to reconcile his faith with reason. At times dryly humorous and at times sober and contemplative, the story begins when Henry is "born again." Brimming with zeal--but already plagued by doubt--he travels to Beijing as a missionary in the guise of an English teacher, where he tries desperately to embrace the culture and win disciples for Jesus. Culture clashes and miscommunications result in cringe-inducing encounters in unlikely settings, ranging from a brothel to a military base. Eventually, the very questions that troubled him from the start prove to be too much, and his faith collapses entirely, leaving him feeling disillusioned--but free.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Craig Harline set off on his two-year Mormon mission to Belgium in the 1970s, he had big dreams of doing miracles, converting the masses, and coming home a hero. What he found instead was a lot of rain and cold, one-sentence conversations with irritated people, and silly squabbles with fellow missionaries-- a range of experiences that nothing, including his own missionary training, had prepared him for. He also found a wealth of friendships with fellow Mormons as well as unconverted locals and, along the way, gained insights that would shape the rest of his life.
Download or read book Confessions of a Transformed Heart written by Nancy Sheppard and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-10-25 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mark and Nancy Sheppard began missionary service in Liberia, Nancy had no idea what God would ask of her. Their idyllic first term was followed by the Liberian Civil War and a nightmarish year working among Liberian refugees in the Ivory Coast. Conditions were difficult, expectations overwhelming and the tensions of the war at their doorstep. Fear, self-pity, resentment and depression haunted her. God used Nancy's difficult decision to follow her husband's leadership and remain in refugee work to begin an amazing spiritual journey - one that led to a clearer understanding of biblical womanhood as well as a deeper relationship with the Lord and with her husband. The book chronicles Nancy's journey to true peace in the midst of very difficult circumstances. As God teaches her about genuine service, submission, sincere prayer, reverence and humility, she is totally and completely transformed. The Youth Version removes some of the more detailed explanations of the war and Liberian culture that may not be appropriate for young people.
Download or read book Great Eagle Rising written by Millie Camille Eehn-Toms and published by . This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not a "Missionary" type... The word missionary comes with much baggage. It intimidates many people. It puts the missionaries on a spiritual echelon above normal people. I don't appreciate being a missionary sometimes. Remember how God made Balaam's donkey talk? God cannot make people become missionaries because free will is involved. I believe most of those who became missionaries became that because God is irresistible and not because they think they are so holy. I probably have more than a couple of hundred confessions in this book without saying "I confess." I just want you to know that we are only human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This just may be my favorite true-life amazing-but-true tale—never has threatening an aircraft been funnier or more thought-provoking.” —Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Homeland “I devoured the more than four hundred pages of this memoir in what was essentially one sitting . . . A welcome addition to the library of Mormon autobiography—educational and highly entertaining.” —Richard Packham, Dawning of a Brighter Day 1987. A faltering missionary named Bill Shunn lands himself in a Canadian jail, facing charges of hijacking and the prospect of life behind bars. 1844. A frontier prophet named Joseph Smith lands himself in an Illinois jail, facing charges of treason and the prospect of imminent lynching. What binds these two men together? This riveting memoir—by turns hilarious, provocative and thrilling—answers that question in style, weaving from their stories a spellbinding tapestry of deception, desperation and defiance. Answer its call and you’ll never look at a Mormon missionary the same way again. “You will read few other books as smart, funny, honest, and heartbreaking as The Accidental Terrorist, and I unreservedly recommend it to you as both a home-grown cautionary tale and a highly original coming-of-age saga.” —Michael Bishop, author of Ancient of Days and editor of A Cross of Centuries “The book grabs you on page one and never lets go. Fantastically written, beautifully paced, The Accidental Terrorist reads like a novel instead of a memoir. Only in novel form, no one would have ever believed these events could have happened. Believe it. William Shunn lived every word of this book. That he can share it so eloquently is a tribute not just to his writing skill, but his strengths as a human being.” —Kristine Kathryn Rusch, USA Today bestselling author Finalist for the 2015 Association for Mormon Letters Award
