For Love's Sake

Meer over het boek

For Love's Sake weaves the real-life stories of two young women--Jessica J. Davis and Mary the mother of Jesus--into a supernatural adventure. Both women took big leaps of faith to journey deeper into the heart of God. Jessica leaves middle-class America the day after high school graduation to travel throughout Africa ministering to the poor. She discovers how the vibrant land and amazing people reveal the upside-down nature of God's Kingdom. Mary was called to bridge Heaven and earth by bringing life to a new movement of God into the world around her. They both experience great joy and profound sorrow. For Love's Sake opens the camouflaged "back door" of missions--living in outrageous fellowship with God--onto roads packed with heavenly encounters, miracles, and the reality of suffering in war zones. With captivating transparency, For Love's Sake is a wide-open stare into one woman's fascinating trek with the poor, a brutal attack and threat on her life, and her honest reflections of the good, the bad, and the ugly underside of a life laid down for love.
