Missionary women have high expectations when they respond to God’s call; of themselves, their mission agencies, host cultures, churches, co-workers, and even of God. These expectations are often times impossible to fulfill and can lead to mental and physical exhaustion.

In Expectations and Burnout: Women Surviving the Great Commission, Sue provides research and surveys from the field while Robynn lends her own personal experiences to demonstrate how burnout can happen and how God can bring life from ashes.

The stories within this book are remarkable, supernatural in nature, and yet also lay out simple principles of multiplication found in Scripture.

Your God is Too Safe: Rediscovering the Wonder of a God You Can't Control

by Mark Buchanan

In this book, Mark Buchanan shows how the many Christians begin their spiritual journey with excitement and enthusiasm, only to get bogged down in a "borderland" (an in-between space beyond the "old life" but short of the abundant, adventurous existence promised by Jesus). Buchanan examines the problem of "borderland living", where doubt, disappointment, guilt, and wonderlessness keep people "stuck" in spiritual mediocrity ... and then offers solutions for getting "unstuck" and moving into a bold, unpredictable, exhilarating walk with Christ!
