Honestly written, raw in emotion, sad and joyful in equal measure, this collection of stories offers insight into the complexities of parenting children while serving God far from home. Reviews“ I found myself enormously challenged while reading this collection of missionary mums’ stories. I am grateful for the opportunity, through this book, to engage with my heavenly Father about my commitment to His mission to take the good news of Jesus to a lost world.... no matter the risk, the hardship, the suffering, the tears. I am also thankful that I now have a much greater understanding of what the missionary mums that I regularly partner with in prayer are experiencing on the field.” – Lesley Ramsey, Editor of What Women Really Need “Whenever I visit Bible colleges where missionaries train, women want to know what it is like to be a mother on the mission field ... this is a set of stories that need to be told.” – Evelyn Hibbert, Leading Multicultural Teams “For the Joy is a powerful compilation of honest hearts. Be prepared to cry some, to be comforted, affirmed in your calling and challenged to continue on in Great Commission living. I highly commend it to you.” – Robynn Bliss, Expectations and Burnout: Women Surviving the Great Commission |
