“This erudite, articulate young author writes with passion about her life as a young, newly married humanitarian worker. Although the ministry audience was needy children, the focus in this book is almost entirely on the impact of the experience on this new marriage. She describes her findings in such a way that others can benefit immediately from things she learned. The book is unique in three aspects. First, it is fresh, powerful, and stimulating. Secondly, the exercises she has created for sustaining and deepening the marriage relationship are superb. And third, her presentation covers seven stages of ministry, from beginning to reintegration. This volume will be of great value to married workers in mission as well as to those tasked with preparing such workers for their humanitarian goals. The bibliography alone is worth the price of the book.”
