Ebook short description

This book of reflections offers biblical insight into those feelings and questions that expatriates have while living in a foreign land.

Extended description

No matter where we are from, each expatriate has times of unparalleled joy and excitement, new adventures, fascinating cultural differences, wonderful food and supportive new friends from around the world. Each also faces the challenges of living in another culture, learning a sometimes difficult language, feeling homesick, experiencing grief at the loss of what is familiar while asking God why He seems to have taken us so far away and why life is so difficult.
The Bible speaks to these and other emotions. The Israelites lived in exile and felt deeply the pain and hurt of being in unfamiliar territory. Yet they found confidence in the Lord who, they discovered, was with them in the foreign land just as much as He was with them back home. Their perspective away from home was different, but God remained the same.

Review by: David White on Feb. 13, 2012 :
This was an informative history of a movement that has been little known in our modern society, but I found fascinating. t is amazing how God moves the proclamation of the gospel to different areas of the world in different eras.
