I Never Signed Up for This, by Ann Bowman
Summary
<p>Today, Roberta talks to Ann Bowman about her new book I Never Signed Up for This: One Mother's Journey to Surrender Her Children to Their Calling.</p><p>Ann thought she supported missions — until her own children chose to live and minister in foreign countries. From the day she waved good-bye at the airport, Ann began a journey of grief and shame. Grief arose when her dreams of life with grandchildren living nearby were crushed. Shame came when she could not rejoice in the life God had chosen for her daughters.</p><p>Turning to God with absolute honesty, Ann found tenderness and compassion, not the condemnation she expected. He walked with her through a difficult season of surrender until she learned to become a vital support to her missionary family’s life overseas.</p><p><em>Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.
