The best books are the ones you can't escape from - both in terms of time, and emotionally - when she cries, you cry; when she worries, you worry...etc. And the book I'm reading at the moment sure has it all. I've been enjoying the autobiographies of Naomi Reed, a missionary in Nepal. After reading the first part of her story (given to me by a friend), I was lent the second book, by another friend, and now I'm half way through it.
Naomi and her husband spent some time in the nineties in Nepal working as physios in various capacities. After being in Australia for a number of years, they then returned back to Nepal to begin work in training up new local physios. I'm finding this second one far more intense as they have to endure war and unrest (on top of all the other day to day trials), and trying to imagine what that would feel like in a foreign country, with their little boys to look after.
Naomi does a wonderful job gently explaining the way God led her and her family through the various decisions they had to make, and the way she was able to grow through the different trials they had to endure. She also manages to capture the little details of life in Nepal, which I really appreciate, and at the moment, I'm especially enjoying the chapter about their trek in the Himalayas.
Definitely recommend it!
