|  | | Chicken Soup for the Soul: Finding My Faith
My story is a true confession of how I lost and found my faith in Indonesia and The Philippines.
Chicken Soup for the Soul books, as you may know, are collections of true stories relating to a theme chosen by the editors. "Finding My Faith" has stories about finding faith of many different sorts.
My story relates my experience in Indonesia where I lost faith in a caring God because of all the poverty around me. I thought, "If God really cared about us, He wouldn't allow all this suffering." (There were a lot of people suffering in Indonesia.)
When the children and I were evacuated to Clark Air Base in the Philippines, I was in deep depres | |  | | Chicken Soup for the Soul: Miracles Happen
Chicken Soup books are anthologies containing 101 stories. This is an astonishing collection of true miracles that have actually happened to the writers.
If you need a "faith lift," if you are tired of humdrum living, if you want to find out about strange happenings that can't be explained by natural causes, then this is the book for you!
My contribution to the collection tells of when my husband reappeared a few hours after this death in a far-away place and healed the unborn fetus in our granddaughter. The formerly-skeptical doctor pronounced it had to be a miracle.

| |  | | What the Witch Doctor Taught Me
The Lahu tribe in Northern Thailand went from being animists afraid of the spirits to being Christians following Jesus and evangelizing tribes around them. I saw it happen!
In 1978, I began visiting tribal villages in Northern Thailand. Knowing neither the languages nor the cultures, I depended on English-speaking tribal people to guide, advise, and interpret for me.
Over the next 32 years, we saw miracles and healings, witch doctors and changed lives, poverty of material goods and richness of spirit. I learned to love these diverse groups and lived with them weeks at a time, sleeping on their bamboo or teak floors (bamboo is better--it's springy!) and learning to avoid the little green chilis lurking in their food.
