This was an engaging peek into missionary life in Yemen. It was fairly short and was very much an overview, not an indepth study. It discusses journey to Yemen and some of their experiences there during the first years. It focuses on several extremely difficult experiences they went through healthwise and how the kept faith in God and his plan for them in Yemen throughout it all. As it is such a different lifestyle and religion in Yemen, I would have loved a longer, deeper look at their missionary service, perhaps that will be forthcoming later? This was definitely worth reading though, the author has a very readable style though it just whet my appetite for more! To me, the main purpose in this book is to show how God taught the author to have faith no matter what the circumstances; I'd love to see a further book on their missionary service.
