Book Cover & Preview Text
An Iranian plan had come across the Iraqi border and as the air raid sirens screamed , the Ambassador and the rest of the Embassy staff fled to the main floor and stood under the stairs which was supposed to be the safest place in case a bomb hit. As I stood under the stairs, I thought back on my life and what had brought me to this point in time and this place. I definitely had a peace and was not afraid, and I could only attribute this to that peace that surpasses understanding that can only be found in Christ Jesus. During my time with the American Embassy in Iraq, I was asked why I was'n panicking like so manythere during the Iran-Iraq war, which gave me opportunity to share life in Christ.

About the Book
A journey of faith. Trusting God to direct me, because I knew that my first assignment would be traveling to a country at war. I had lived in an Islamic country at war prior to knowing Christ, and at first I was reluctant to accept the assignment. Later on, I realized that when I was younger, I was being prepared for what lay ahead. It was amazing that as a single woman, I was sent to live in an Islamic country, Iraq, the cradle of civilization . When I visited biblical sites such as Babylon, Hatra, and Jacob's well, it brought the Old Testament alive. And to travel to the sites of the seven churches of the book of Revelation and other sites that the apostle Paul traveled, I found that a life yielded to Christ can be interesting and exciting.
