What We Are Reading

Let us start by saying, we are definitely not professional book reviewers nor do we aspire to be.  Since moving to Haiti, we have come to realize that throughout our time as a believers we have not been exposed to many books concerning missions, missionaries or about countries outside the United States.  It is our hope that through this part of our blog we can begin to provide valuable resources and encouragement from those believers who came before us.  You will find many of our books early on have centered around Haiti, but we have been encouraged by many people who are missionaries to dark places all over the planet.  Also, you might find a few random books thrown in here for some light reading.  Every now and then you just need something fun that makes you stay up late at night to finish! Please let us know of any good books to check out and we'll do our best to take a read and share them here!
