I doubt that Behind the Veils of Yemen was written to be in competition with Ms. Nienhuis' Missionary Sister's experience as she appears to make the point.<br />When a Christian "steps out of the boat" to answer the call of the Lord it is always personal, often challenging beyond our ability and most certainly not boring. That is exactly what I found this book to detail.<br />Perhaps if Ms. Nienhuis would choose to accept the call to step out of the boat instead of observe it from the comfort of an armchair she would not be quite so bored!<br />I loved the book, found it to be inspiring and enjoyed the personal glimpses into the everyday life of a "real-life" Missionary Family struggling to be faithful in spite of the storms of life, so eloquently and personally detailed.<br />Keep up the good work Audra Grace Shelby!<br />Fellow WaterwalkerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
