Recently I came across a resource to encourage my missionary
daughter serving in India.
Perhaps you or your small group would like to present this book to a woman you
know who would also benefit from reading this honest and humorous account
written by a fellow missionary wife.

With wit and wisdom, Sue Eenigenburg provides 52
devotionals--one for each week of the year--which are based on her own
experiences and lessons God taught her. Each entry includes a two-three page
reading, Scripture passage, five thought-provoking questions that help
missionary women assess their experience in light of the Scripture, an action
plan, and a prayer. Sue offers insight into issues such as illness, family and team
communication, shopping, childrearing, and many other life adjustments that
women face in a foreign culture. Sue’s transparent writing reveals her heart to
reach out to women while her commitment to trust God in the midst of hardship
provides an example for others to follow. This book will brighten a
missionary’s day and point her to the One who provides and protects in a
foreign land.
