Linda Thomas expected that when she grew old, she'd be a quaint
little grandma-the kind that sits in a rocking chair and knits
blankets for new grandbabies. But God and her husband had other
ideas: Africa This is Linda's story of her first four years working
in Africa as a missionary.
In this narrative, uniquely told through letters to her
granddaughters, Linda shares how she stumbles into adventures most
grandmas could not imagine-a hippo charges her, a Maasai elder
spits at her, and a baboon poops in her breakfast. As she
faithfully answers God's calling-and its challenges-she recounts
both hilarious and frightful incidents, joys and heartaches,
answered prayers, and those God seemed to leave unanswered. While
drinking tea from a pot cleaned with cow's urine, suffering through
an embarrassing breast exam, and narrowly escaping a carjacking by
a murderer wielding an assault rifle, Linda falls in love with
Africa, its people, and the work God presented her.
Grandma's Letters from Africa is a chronicle of God's heart,
His delightful creativity, and His amazing power to help those in
need.
