<p><b>"I can't tell you the name of the country where I worked. My students and friends, whose names have been changed in this book, remain under police surveillance because of the story I'm about to tell you."</b> --from chapter 1<br /><br /> Make a difference. Do big things for God. Change the world. You'll hear slogans like these at retreats and concerts, inspiring you to Christian service. But what happens when inspiration meets reality?</p>Growing up in a Christian home, Amy Peterson was enamored by missionaries--the heavenly heroes. By the time she graduated from college, she was ready to set the world on fire. Seeking her own adventure and desiring to share her Savior, she landed in Southeast Asia to teach English and share Christ privately. God used both incredible miracles and heartbreaking disillusionment to demonstrate that Amy's surrendering to Him was more important than anything she could "do" for Him.<br /><br /> "No verse in my New Testament asked me to make a difference. According to Jesus, I wasn't supposed to try to be 'salt and light' to a desperate world; I already was. It wasn't something to do; it was the very identity I'd been given," writes Amy.<br /><br /> Part spiritual memoir, part travelogue, and part love story, Amy's captivating tale of learning to live her faith will encourage you as you find your place in this world.
