Doulos Story, The

Description

*Idealism meets reality as a young Brazilian who dreams of being a powerful preacher is assigned to clean the galley floor beneath a refrigerator. *Tentative faith grows into quiet awe as essential yet unobtainable fuel suddenly & inexplicably appears on the scene. *Bleary eyed despair is banished as a young mother on the verge of committing suicide is offered hope by two young Doulos women. *Joyful celebration turns into shock & pain as the unbelievable happens & a terrorist attack upon the ship’s company leaves death & serious injuries in its wake. THE DOULOS STORY vividly describes the joys & tensions of life aboard Operation Mobilsation’s ship DOULOS, & the impact of volunteer workers serving Jesus Christ on the lives of countless people around the world. “Doulos has played a significant part & become a special friend to thousands of people around the world…For most it has been through a brief encounter when she has visited their home port. Many have wanted to know more about her incredible story. Now we have the chance…This is a book well worth getting & it will be hard to put down once you start reading it.” Andrew Thompson, Director of the Christian sailing charity, Westward Quest.
