“A Given Life is invigorating, inspiring, and refreshingly honest. It shows the real hardships, but also the tangible joys of following Jesus wherever he leads. It will energize your faith, inspire you to action, comfort you in your own trials, and help you know that whatever challenges you face, you are not alone. It will bring hope and joy to your soul.”
“This rich and insightful reflection, humbly recounted, sets forth the journey that led to McAllister's surprising conviction that God was calling her in retirement to leave Seattle for Rwanda. With great spiritual and psychological insight, as well as vulnerability, she shows how God sustained and healed her in this hard assignment. This book serves as a vital corrective to complacent, self-serving religiosity--an invaluable gift in its story of transformation, renewal, and encouragement.”
