Dare to Trust by Nathalie Macdermott
Combining travelogue with testimony, Nathalie MacDermott shares her life's adventure with God, offering a compelling memoir set amidst a host of dangerous situations. This is what happens when compassion and courage are allowed to thrive. From orphanages in former communist states to hard-line Islamic regimes, international humanitarian disasters to corrupt African institutions, Nathalie has come face to face with numerous instances where trusting God is the only option. Told with honesty, and humility, Dare to Trust is an invitation to reconnect with God, to be inspired by His call, to put faith in action, and to renew our commitment to serving Him today.
“Courageous, remarkable, compassionate and selfless all describe DrNatalie MacDermott. This book is a reflection of the mandate that we as Christians have to demonstrate Christ's love to the world. Natalie exemplifies that call. It was a privilege to serve alongside her in Liberia.” -- Nancy Writebol
“Bravery is not a mystical attribute that some adventurous souls are given but the rest of us lack. Being brave is about saying `Yes’ to God and to others; it is about facing our internal obstacles and making tough choices in a crisis. Nathalie has chosen to live by faith and not by fear, and her life so far has been extraordinary as a result. You will be encouraged and challenged by the wisdom she shares and you will, in turn, undoubtedly dare to dream more about what God can do through you. Having visited Liberia and the Ebola hospital, I know that sharing this story has been costly, but this bravery will also be rewarded as we each say a bigger `Yes’ to God as a result of all that is shared in these pages.” -- Cathy Madavan, speaker, writer, author of Digging for Diamonds and part of Spring Harvest Planning Group
“This book is a breathtaking account of what God can achieve through somebody who is totally dedicated to him and his purpose. My friend Nathalie has learned that her faith in Jesus is more valuable than her own life; in fact, Jesus has become her life. Her story is a challenge to us to take our discipleship seriously, and be radical in our commitment to the Lord.” -- Dr Roger Aubrey, All Nations Church Cardiff and author of Discovering God
