Sue Westrum's Newly Released "The Best Life: A City Girl Thrives in the Jungle" is a Powerful Inquiry into What it Means to Live a Better-Than-Good Christian Life
"The Best Life: A City Girl Thrives in the Jungle" from Christian Faith Publishing author Sue Westrum is an inspiring autobiographical investigation into what God promises as a "good life," challenging society's pervasive, superficial notion of what would satisfy, as the author and her husband work overseas with unreached people and watch how God uses missionaries like themselves to transform these "jungle societies," bring them the Gospel through their own language, and ultimately offer them the true gift of the best life in Christ.
MEADVILLE, Pa., July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Best Life: A City Girl Thrives in the Jungle": a vivid memoir from the jungles of Indonesian New Guinea. "The Best Life" is the creation of published author Sue Westrum, a Chicago-born registered nurse and former flight attendant in the sixties turned Christ-loving "jungle mom" in the eighties, now retired from active ministry and living with her husband, Peter.
Westrum shares, "Yes, satan had tried to discourage us, hoping we would turn back and not enter his domain. But truly, we didn't feel discouraged; turning back never occurred to us. We were on a high with excitement that finally, after two years of preparation, we had arrived. Years later, I said to Peter one day, 'Why did we keep going? Were we naïve? Or stupid?' No, the answer is clear. We knew our call. We knew without a shadow of doubt that we were in the center of God's will for us. We knew God was leading.
It was quiet and peaceful all night. We actually enjoyed the sounds of the jungle surrounding us—frogs croaking, cicadas chirping, and people talking around their fires."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Sue Westrum's new book is a vivid recollection of the author's storied encounters with indigenous people, connecting the dots in hindsight to portray how God and Satan battled it out for the hearts (and gallbladders) not only of the jungle people but those He sent to reach them.
Moving and entertaining, Westrum's testimony shows how God can use virtually anyone to save lives—even a city girl dispatched to the far reaches of the globe.
