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.
Missionary women have high expectations when they respond to God's
call; of themselves, their mission agencies, host cultures,
churches, co-workers, and even of God. These expectations are often
times impossible to fulfill and can lead to mental and physical
exhaustion. Eighty percent of missionary women feel they have come
close to burnout, whether they were married or single, traditional
or tent making, new or experienced. In Expectations and Burnout:
Women Surviving the Great Commission, Sue provides research and
surveys from the field while Robynn lends her own personal
experiences to demonstrate how burnout can happen and how God can
bring life from ashes. Join them as they explore how to develop
realistic expectations and yet maintain faith in our sovereign God
who continues to accomplish the impossible.
