Termites for dinner. Bombs in the backyard. A nation torn by
decades of war still on the brink. Can one life really make a
difference?
Born without her left hip and leg, Michele Perry is no stranger to
seeming impossibilities. So when she arrived in war-torn Southern
Sudan--with little more than her faith in god's promises--she did
what everyone told her was crazy: she opened a home for orphaned
children in the middle of guerilla warfare territory and has now
become "mama" to over one hundred little lives.
With a deft pen, she recounts unforgettable stories of life in the
bush, stories that capture the reader with the stark realities of
living in a war zone--and the power of God's love to transform
them. Her own story is just as compelling as the ministry she is
living. From working in the slums of India to finding her home in
war-ravaged Africa, Michele's life has been a journey deeper into
the supernatural power of God.
Readers will be swept up in one woman's poignant spellbinding,
captivatingly honest journey of love and the glimpses of God's
tender grace and mercy in the midst of a broken and hurting
world
