Overview:

Tim Keesee spent much of his life traveling the world and making war and persecution documentaries in writing and filmography. When he was diagnosed twice with terminal cancers, his scope changed and he focused on those who are living closer and living out a long obedience. Each chapter highlights brothers and sisters who are displaying their faith in various beautiful and inspiring ways. But also included are Tim’s struggles, pain, joy and successes.

This book is not only inspiring but so beautifully written – it will bring you joy yet bring you to tears and also give you hope!
