Dangerous Territory by Amy Peterson

Dangerous Territory: My Misguided Quest to Save the World by Amy Peterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley for a digital ARC copy of this book.

I very much enjoyed Amy Peterson's account of her missionary experience. She gives a little of her background and why she was interested in missions. I can identify with this author, because I too have what she calls "wonderlust".

Each chapter begins with a famous (or maybe not so famous) missionary quote. Ms. Peterson goes on to tell us the beginning of her journey to China where she just wanted to teach English and be Jesus to the people around her. She tells many funny stories of misunderstandings due to culture and language.

She also shares her very conflicted feelings about her "calling" to be a missionary and really what that means.

I think this is a must-read book for any person (especially a woman) who is considering or has ever considered missions.
