Angel Tracks in the Himalayas by Gary Shepherd

Angel Tracks in the Himalayas by Gary Shepherd

Few know the price of the Gospel like Gary Shepherd. This is a life-changing story of what it really takes to follow God's call. You may never look at your Bible the same way again. Gary's simple faith, captured in eloquent detail, will make you feel as if you are right in the center of the action: facing the King Cobra, hearing the witch scream, feeling the searing bullets. If you have ever wondered, in an age of relativism and limp-wristed Christianity, where the real Kingdom is operating-then read these pages. With honesty and craftsmanship, Gary relates his journey in a way that will comfort those who have served and know. and inspire those whose time has yet to come. I have known Gary for many years and have admired his faith and sacrifice for the Bibleless peoples of the world. His love and service to the people of Nepal has made him one of my heroes. His story, however, is not just his story, it is God's story. And for anyone who takes seriously God's command 'to go into all the world, ' it is our story.
