A book worth reading - Review by J. Lord
I found this book to be very intriguing. It reveals what is so often not told…the stories regarding American missionaries and what they go through to bring the Gospel to the world. As American church members in this great country, we sit comfortably in our pews and take for granted the hardships that the missionaries we support must endure. In spite of the constant ordeals, the author conveys his story with a light-hearted attitude. The humor that he injects into his story, makes bearable his trails, for those of us who can immerse themselves enough in its pages to imagine being there and what these difficulties might be like. I found Mr. Williams “Texas Tale” to be honest and humble in his evaluation of himself, and his short-comings. I also found his attitude towards the Russian communities that he sought to serve to be very kind and complementary. Even when he struggled with culture shock, he openly admitted this factor, however as his story tells, he worked very hard to overcome these barriers, as well as those of language. This is a very good book, which is presented in a very inoffensive manner. In the end, he was successful in planting churches in areas where before there had been no witness. As he records his day to day struggles and thoughts, the narrative provides thoughtful hints that readers can contemplate and apply to their own lives. I recommend this book without reservation.

This is a fantastic book filled with humorous and heart felt honesty about the difficulties that missionaries face as they move to a foreign field. I'm thankful for people like Jeff Williams who gave up comforts to share God's Word in Russia. Highly Recommend! (Posted on 10/25/16)2 Item(s)
