Mission of a Lifetime

By Priscilla J. Krahn

Description:

A missing airplane . . . Hostile tribes . . . Mysterious kidnappings . . . Responsibility falls upon twenty-one-year-old William Rodriguez when his missionary parents disappear in the hostile jungles of Columbia. Willie knows that he has to go find them, but what will it cost him? When his dreams and his very life are on the line, Willie doesn't know whom to trust. Will he be able to overcome his past mistakes and the present failure that seems set on destroying his mission? When Willie finds himself in the midst of a drug smuggling ring, difficult decisions are thrust upon him. Can he escape his captors before his family is killed? Can he find forgiveness in his heart for the very people who ruined his life or will it only bring back more painful memories? Will he be able to survive the mission of a lifetime?

Book Takeaway:

I hope the reader will come away thinking about who God wants them to be as an individual. Not who the world wants them to be, not who their friends want them to be, but who God wants them to be.

Why the author wrote this book:

I've enjoyed reading Missionary biographies most of my life and I've always been fascinated by the jungle. When God was teaching me about accepting who God had made me to be, I wanted to write about it, and Willie, in the jungle, on a mission of a lifetime, seemed like the way to do it.
