In This Place

In This Place

In 1985 Kim Abernethy, along with her husband, Jeff, followed a call from God to minister in the small West African country of Liberia. Cultural collisions baffle her on every side.Â

She writes of the fall of one of her daughters from a two-story building, shares candid emotions from when her husband had a close call with Lassa Fever, and delightfully chronicles many of her husband's adventures of being a bush pilot in the jungle of Liberia.Â

Whether you are intrigued by the stories of foreign missionaries and how they adapt to a new culture or are heading towards the mission ï¬eld yourself, you will ï¬nd this book enlightening and inspiring. It is not your traditional missionary autobiography read. Be prepared. It's honest.

Inside you will ï¬nd disbelief, tragedy, fear, anxiety, discontentment, and confusion, but there is also humor, delight, amazement, wonder, surrender, and a deep-seated joy as you watch how God - little by little - chipped away at the walls of pride, disbelief, stubbornness, and independence that had held Kim captive.

It is an irresistible story of an infallible God proving Himself more than enough in every fathomable circumstance. IN THIS PLACE is the ï¬rst of two books that record the ï¬rst eighteen years of the Abernethy's unsettled, but yet fulï¬lling missionary career.

Gleaning stories and adventures from journals that she kept since December, 1985, IN THIS PLACE is autobiographical and concentrates mainly on their ï¬rst four years in Liberia. She is working on completing her second book, IN EVERY PLACE, which continues the Abernethy's missionary adventures from 1990 - 2002.
IN EVERY PLACE is expected to be published in early spring 2012.
