Not only did the complete strangers come out of hiding to lend their aid, not knowing if the terrorists would do a U-turn and attack again, but the strangers also helped lift McDonnall out of the vehicle since her injuries left her unable to move. The men had to place McDonnall along the roadside for a moment, and when they sat her down, the hem of her skirt came up over her ankles. In response, one Iraqi man did something that McDonnall never imagined a man in that culture would do even for his own mother or wife.

The Iraqis helped the McDonnalls to a U. Army medical area, and doctors immediately started treating both of them. Doctors kept McDonnall in a medically-induced coma to allow her to travel back home to Texas — and when she woke up, David was not there. I will not be Pollyanna about it. Finally, she made a decision to get back to the basics of her faith and continue trusting and relying on God every day. Though God does not call everyone to remote places like Iraq, McDonnall said she believes God has a task for all of us. Missions Emphasis continues through Wednesday, with several events and unique speakers scheduled.

I am from south east Asia and as a person who is very much fascinated by the things that has been achieved by missionaries, this book was an eye opener and a good read, making it ever more so clear that how much more we should appreciate our missionaries. Personal, uninhibited, insightful and analytical depiction of missionary life.

Its primarily for three types of perusers 1. People who are missionaries, so that they can find motivation, solace and happiness to know that they are not alone in fighting their demons. People who are waiting for "The call" to be missionaries, so that you will know what you are getting into.

People who are supporters of various causes, to cultivate that rare but noble character of empathy.

Some great things for missionaries, churches, and supporters of missionaries to think about. As a missionary, I felt like parts were more relevant for my supporters or supporting churches to read, but there were many takeaways for me as well. I do wish Ellen had shared a bit more of the deep emotions and feelings related to being a TCK and missionary. Some things were skimmed over that I would have loved to process deeper.

Overall, loved the book and hope to see another from the author! Jun 12, Bethany rated it it was amazing. Powerfully vulnerable It is something truly beautiful to feel a belonging and an understanding from another person. The life on the mission field can be so isolating and grieving.
