Summary: True look at missionary life
Review: This book was very truthful about the struggles that go on in the life of an overseas missionary. She definetly didn't hold back anything. My husband and I are hoping to go to Kazakhstan in 2002 and this was a great look at what we might experience. Great book if you are thinking about going into missions or if you want to know what struggles the missionaries you know are going through so you can better pray for them.

Summary: Great, Honest Missionary Story
Review: This was a great book about the Lemke family and their lives in the Ukraine. As a missionary in training, I appreciated the honesty Janice wrote with in recounting her years in the Ukraine. Missionary stories are usually told as if missionary work was the greatest thing ever. But the author was honest- missionary work is HARD. I also appreciated the emphasis the missionaries put on learning the language and culture of the people they were working with. They were patient with the people, and they respected the already existing (but struggling) church. This is to be commended. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in missions, especially those interested in living overseas.
