In a society (and unfortunately, American Christianity) where instant gratification is expected and instant celebrity status desired, here is an account of one soul whose love of God takes her around the world to places that, although foreign, are familiar to us all - the individual people we touch day-in and day-out as we sojourn through life. It is NOT a book of spectacular victories as most of us envision, but the quiet affirmation that if you listen to the voice of God, He will lead you to faithful service, and the simple joys and hope that come from this almost forgotten type of obedience. In some ways, it's reminiscent of mission stories from the last century, and like them, it rings with the same truth and trusting assurance. The mission field in Thailand has not been receptive to Christianity during most of Joy's tenure, but her dogged determination to take advantage of every encounter, every day, and to see hope in the most desperate circumstances is a lesson to us all. Joy touches lives one-at-a-time, and those of us who were touched by her life, will never forget her, or the God she serves!
