God’s Smuggler by Brother Andrew-
This is the true account of a Dutch man who went from drinking army daredevil
to Bible Smuggler behind the Iron Curtain. Brittany and I were inspired by this
man’s life of faith and fidelity to the Kingdom and its spreading on earth.
Brother Andrew worked tirelessly to bring God’s Word to nations with closed
borders due to Communism, his organization now does the same for nations closed
due to other world religons.
A Princess Found by Sarah
Culbertson and Tracy Trivia- This is the amazing true story of a daughter of a
Sierra Leonean man and American woman who was then put up for adoption, raised
by a white family and then finds her birth father who is a chief in Sierra
Leone. It was very relevant in many ways for me, Sierra Leone’s culture is
similar to where I am, so it was fun to read this fellow American woman’s
narration of life here.
To Give or not to Give by John Rowell – This
book is currently challenging me! After reading When Helping Hurts, I have been
very cautious in my giving and sharing of material goods/money here. But, this
book gives a balance to that way of thinking, which I needed. Asserts that the
universal church should not be trying to plant independent churches, but
intedependent churches I am still reading and praying about how to share with
my neighbors here.
Africans and Their History by
Joseph E. Harris- A look at Africa’s history in segments by region, so
confession- I am only reading the West Africa part! It is sad how much we don’t
know about African history, even the author admits this, though I am also
currently watching a BBC series called The
Lost Kingdoms of Africa where the host explores different now-dead kingdoms
of Africa based on artifacts.
