This book brings out how selfish and ungodly the American dream really is. I commend how this wealthy "normal" family took off their blinders and went beyond our protecting borders.
I hear others reminisce of simpler times in the past and how they miss them. But this family went into a country of just that, a simple life and habits. Nothing to be in a hurry for. Instead of looking in the past, all we have to do is look across our oceans for a simple life.
I appreciate this families determination to be obedient to God even though things were not easy. They made a challenging mission trip in our eyes, into a wonderful vacation. The author did not enjoy every aspect of the three years they were there, but she came away with a joy of being blessed.
I recommend this book to anyone thinking about going on a mission trip. It will reveal what things could happen that may seem unpleasant. But, it can also show what things can lead to an exciting, God inspired passion that you never knew you had.
"I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review."
