4.9/5 (12595 ratings)

Description:“It is the lies that keep us safe.” Writes Joy Smalley in this must-read paging turning memoir. Joy’s vivid story telling will find you laughing, crying, and screaming. Joy’s childhood was chaotic, requiring her adult self to reckon with her upbringing. In the end, Joy didn’t lose her faith . . . instead she found it. And so will you.Amy Young, author of Looming Transitions and founder of Global Trellis“It’s unfortunate that we aren't more aware of the stories of trauma in our midst. It can be even more tragic to find that some of those stories are the fruits of our well-intentioned ministry efforts. Simply said, we need to hear and consider these stories when people like Joy are brave enough to share them. She has done the hard personal work of processing and pursuing healing and now has gifted us with the opportunity to consider her experiences. There is much to learn about life on the mission field and how it impacts those we care about. I would encourage the reader to dive into these pages with sober consideration and pastoral care."Marty Solomon, author of Asking Better Questions of the Bible and host of the BEMA PodcastHer parents were radicals with a cause, Outer Mongolia was a country devastated by the collapse of the Soviet Union and she was a child caught in the middle.Abraham’s Daughter is a braided memoir that tells a story of self-discovery as one Missionary Kid faces the truth that her life was not what it seemed and God was not who they said he was. Instead of adventure, her world was wrapped in trauma and neglect at the hands of those who claimed to care for her. Believing what they said, she sacrificed herself in an effort to fulfill her purpose—to glorify God in her death.Only when she started listening to her body did she begin to experience healing and the courage to ask deeper questions. Was she neglected? Was she abused? Was God good? Did God demand her sacrifice? What was she worth?She encountered herself in this space of therapy, peering back into childhood, where she could finally understand her story and meet God for the first time.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
