Amazing story of childlike faith and immediate obedience! The written account is choppy, but the substance of her story will draw you away from this.

This was a very fast reading book. Amazing how God can show Himself and his plans to people if we would just listen. It is about a wealthy Muslim lady who has been called to spread the message of Christianity. My copy is on someone else's wish list, but will be removing it from my TBR list and bookshelf for a while for other members of family to read, including my nephew who will be leaving for Afghanistan soon.
