The problem with promising God you'll follow Him wherever He leads you is that you just might have to go.
When her husband returned from a church mission trip and disrupted her tidy, middle-class afternoon with the conviction they should pack up and move to a Mayan village in Guatemala, Marcia Moston had to wonder: faithful or foolish?
On a journey that leads from the highlands of Guatemala to a small Vermont village, Marcia follows God's call for her husband even though it seems to conflict with her own dreams, requires credentials she lacks, and demands courage she doesn't feel she has.
Written with humor and insight, Call of a Coward is a candid account of a modern-day seeker and a very real God who makes cowards courageous, ordinary lives purposeful, and dried-up dreams fruitful.
This was a great read and I would definitely reccomend if you love reading about missionaries and the work they do for God. We have a general idea of what their work entails, but we never know the struggles they face amongst other cultures as well as within themselves. In this book the author talks about the ministry work her husband was involved in and how she was to trust God's plan, once she did, oh what a plan it was!
I enjoy reading true stories from people like me and you and would definitely read another by this author!
