Full of Exotic Locales and Dangers...
"I had no sense of the perils that awaited me. Maybe I had no sense at all," writes Susan Goffard in her book, Chased by God, Stalked by Death. Indeed, Susan, a true raconteur, shares the many dangers she walks headlong into, some out of pure naivetê, others unavoidable because of the remote and exotic locations in which she and her French foreign ministry husband, Luc, live.
From Laos, Arab countries, Ethiopia,Guatemala, Mexico, and even Wisconsin, near-death experiences haunt Susan or her immediate family members. Yet it takes forty years before Susan hears God's voice and realizes He is calling her through all this.
Thankfully, call her God does, and Susan clearly and unashamedly shares how she met Christ as her Lord and Savior. I loved that the transformation was so real in her life, it caused those around her to desire what she had found. What a challenge to me regarding living out my faith!!
If you enjoy exotic locales, slices of local life in said places, and the sense of impending peril, this is a great book. It was wonderful to see how God protected Susan when she wasn't yet aware of Him.
I received this book from bookfun.org in exchange for an honest review.
