Reckless Faith

June 18th, 2008


When Beth and her husband, Todd, took a mission trip to Mexico in 1995, they just thought it was an opportunity to do a little good with their summer vacation.  but they couldn't forget a chance encounter with a forgotten orphanage, couldn't forget that transcendent feeling of having participated in something truly profound and like addicts they wanted that feeling again.  A year later, they moved to Monterrey, Mexico.

Some might call that reckless.

In the years that follow, Beth and Todd establish a ministry that helps orphans--the poorest, most defenseless members of a needy populace.  And while the stories here are drawn from those experiences, this book isn't a memoir.

It's about living with faith, with the certainty that God will show up exactly where and exactly when He's needed.  Beth calls it a reckless faith--a willingness to trust even when you don't understand.  And her book--an inspiring collection of true stories about real people who, when faced with real challenges, chose to trust God--is a call to every reader to live with reckless faith.

Reckless Faith will be available in stores and online in August 2008.
