More Screams, Different Deserts - by Sue Eenigenburg (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Joy and Perseverance for Women in Cross-Cultural Ministry

More Screams, Different Deserts is another invitation to join Sue on her adventures in cross-cultural living and biblical studies that have helped her along the way. With twenty-seven years of experience in cross cultural ministry, Sue realizes that joy and perseverance are essential for thriving in life and ministry. Her stories and insights encourage women to look to Jesus, our only hope wherever we live.

Stories, ranging from one corner of the world to another, include discovering a forgotten museum, protecting her children from chocolate, visiting a camel market, and meeting wild pigs on a nighttime walk. God has been her refuge, and his Word held her steady when all she really wanted to do was run away and hide. Questions and resources at the end of each chapter will help readers think through personal application and find additional help.

Review Quotes

Sue shares her deeper journeys into the scriptures as she learns lessons on joy and perseverance, suffering, hope, love, and faith. All along the way she reveals her own struggles and heart's stories. I could relate to so much I read. My own struggles were recognized. My own sufferings began to make sense. Sue's use of humor served as sugar to make the truth-medicine go down. This is a well written, well experienced, well lived book that will surely benefit any woman serving cross-culturally around the world.

-Robynn Bliss, Eden Vigil and co-author, Expectations and Burnout

Sue's delightful sense of humor colorfully tells real life stories of living cross-culturally. She presents Bible passages to study along with practical applications for women working across cultures. The questions to ponder are a great springboard for personal contemplation or creative dialogue with others.

-Lorrie Lindgren, executive director of Thrive
