New Book
This books tells the story of moving to Haiti, but also, I think, a lot more.
An adventure of faith and trying to love my neighbors, with plenty of stumbles, embarrassments, fear, and laughter along the way.
An adventure of getting to know Haiti and its people. My wife and I moved in with a family--one room in their little tin-roof, no-electricity-or-running-water house--within 24 hours of landing. Share what I'm experiencing with a lot of respect but without hiding behind a soft-focus lens.
An adventure of love: marriage in pressure cooker, frying pan, fire, or whatever you want to call it. Ideals and service in relationships can create (to stick with the cooking metaphors) combustible stew.
An adventure in God: faith, doubt, questions, anger, prayer, hope, despair, and love along the way.
An adventure in sharing the life-changing experience so it's meaningful to you -- wherever you are or want to be, whatever you believe or aren't sure about. It's an adventure in trying to live more fully by loving more vulnerably. Haiti provides quite a place to do it. But so is wherever you are.
