These are memoirs from the unexpected life of an American who had an unexpected stay in Asia. They tell of a quest for meaning, driven by love for those both home and abroad, guided by the design of a God who refused to be ignored.May these serve as light to help two not-so-different peoples understand each other, though they may be separated by a vast water. And, may these stories encourage you that if an American can make his journey in Asia through the help of a loving God, that same loving God can help you through the challenges of love and journey you face.
