Hey Ladies! Check out this book!

I, Sarah, just started reading a book called,
"5 Loaves and 2 Bowls of Borscht," by Janice Lemke.

It has a study guide that goes with it called, "Finding Strength for the Journey."


The book is is about the struggles, triumphs, and lessons of a missionary lady to the Ukarine. The study guide takes some of those lessons she learned and puts them into simple everyday studies either for you personally or (ideally) with a group of ladies (although, I'm doing it on my own and enjoying it very much). Here are the titles of a few of the lessons:

"Trusting God with the Unknown"
"Personality Differences: Help or Hindrance"
"Finding Joy"
"Following God to Uncomfortable Places"
"Dealing with Depressiong"
"Gifts of Grace."

The Introduction to the book by Janice Lemke reads:
"God calls Christians to many different types of ministry--it might be in MOngolia or in a mega-church, ot teens in trouble or toddlers at home. Sometimes we feel fullfilled, sometimes we don't. If we don't feel satisfied, is it time to move on? This Bible study series explores the theme of perseverance but also touches on topics such as: discovering God's will, relationships, contentment, and benefit from trials..." etc.

If you can get a hold of this book, it comes highly recommended by yours truly.
