I cried way more than I was expecting I would. This book just reminds you of how we should be living for God. It was an amazing story.

I read this book in just a couple of days and as we are sitting home social distancing, it was a great reminder of how to love for Christ knowing that your life is not your own. I am thankful for the many Christian witnesses who have gone before. Thanks to 10 of those for access to this book!

This book had me sobbing. As a believer, books and stories like this remind and challenge me throughout. It is a reminder of Who I have been called to and what I have been called from. It challenges me that my comfort is not God’s priority, and I must die to myself/my desires, and be willing to take up His cross to follow wherever He leads. However, I am also reminded that He promises to walk with me wherever this is,and His glory will be ultimate. A call to suffering, but joyous moments along the way. Thank you for sharing your story and Stephen’s story. This has been a great encouragement.

“Are you dead yet? Dead to yourself, dead to your own desires, dead to fear? Are we alive in Christ? My desire is that when people see your life, when they see my life, they will see Christ, and Christ alone. Let us live our lives as if they weren’t our own lives. To truly be strangers in this world. To be aliens in this world. Our citizenship is in heaven.” - Stephen Foreman

This is a brilliant autobiography- honest, challenging, inspiring and focused on the glory of God among the nations.
