Journey of Hope

Journey of Hope by Debbie Kaufman is an interesting look into the missionary world in 1920. Anna Baldwin is a missionary to a tribe of cannibals in Liberia, the Pahn. After losing her major form of support she is running out of ways to stay in the missionary field. Enter Stewart Hastings who has recently been dumped by his fiance for scars he had incurred in WWI. As they journey through the jungle they encounter danger and driver ants (look them up, they can be dangerous). What I liked most about this story is that it focused on doing God's will and not what we think is God's will. Both Anna and Stewart have set plans on what they are in Liberia for, but circumstance and God show them that there is a different plan. A plan that they could not have imagined but one that brings Him glory. When you look this book up you will see it's a Harlequin book. Well it turns out that Harlequin has some Christian series namely Love Inspired Historical, Love Inspired, and Love Inspired Suspense. I have read many of them and have found most of them  to be clean, a little heavy on the romance but not more than many of the Christian romance novels out today.
