Book: Walking Miracle

I have recently been going through my old pictures of my time in Thailand.  It made me want to read a book about missionaries in Thailand. Even better, missionaries with YWAM, in Thailand.  It didn't take me long to find Walking Miracle by Art Sanborn, on the  YWAM Publishing website.  This book starts out by Art telling the story of when he broke his neck in Hawaii, and instantly becoming a quadraplegic.  In the second chapter, it starts the story of how he and his wife, Ellen, and their three children began the journey of becoming a missionary family.  To read about the miracles that God did in their lives and in the lives of others as they preached the gospel in Thailand and other Asian countries was amazing.  I loved relating to the stories of familiarity of life in Thailand.  It was especially meaninful when I saw the names of people in the book that I actually knew, some quite well, during my time in Thailand.  I could not put this book down! 

I bought several other books in their International Adventure series.  I will write about these as I read them.  Most of these are exciting accounts of modern day missionaries that remind us that God is still working amazing wonders in this world.
