The biographical sketch of the man known around the world as "Uncle Buddy". Follow his beginnings from a small West Texas town to missionary assignments throughout Africa and Taiwan. His "cotton patch" observations on such issues as marriage, children and Christian living have endeared him to an entire generation.
Just as the man, the presentation is understated and matter-of-fact. Uncle Buddy relates stories from his childhood and his days on the mission field that leave you in laughter and tears. In each circumstance, he points to God's provision and care. A refreshing testimony of God's faithfulness over a lifetime of service. Well worth the price, it's a book I'll be glad to pass on to my children as an inspiration and a reminder of why we are here.

I thought the book was very well written. Shows us how our missionaries suffer through their trials, but remain devoted to their God. Had feelings of joy and pain, I felt their pain and sadness. Told me more what real life as a missionary is like.
A real adventure

I met the real Uncle Buddy this weekend. This man is amazing. He tells stories that leave children begging for more. God has truly blessed Uncle Buddy with a unique voice who uses stories to teach lessons in life. Visit Africa and other countries with the missionary.
