Ten inspiring stories of faith and mission from Asia and the Arab World from the mission agency Interserve.
In *The Plum in the Desert* Naomi Reed tells stories of difficult situations in the mission field; some of victory, some which left the mission workers feeling they had failed. But despite the difficulties and perceived failures, each story speaks of the goodness of God and what it means to persevere and trust in him, even when it seems too hard. These stories give us a new perspective on those perceived failures and remind us that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him".
Commendations for *The Plum in the Desert*:
"I smiled, I cried, and I marveled, but most of all I found myself moved to thanksgiving to the Lord as I read through these absorbing stories." *- Rose Dowsett, mission writer, researcher and former Chair of the Interserve International Council.*
"These stories of Interserve workers illustrate vividly the flexible and innovative approaches to mission in our day. Gripping, challenging and informative." *- Martin Goldsmith, author and mission lecturer, All Nations Christian College*

An easy read to give to others
Another inspiring, well written book by Naomi Reed. This book makes a great gift as it will appeal to every Christian as it takes the reader into the lives of different missionaries and shows the working of God through each of their lives. Each chapter is short and tells the brief story of a different missionary and their God driven journey. You come away from each chapter encouraged to see God's work through every different circumstance, person and place. \\r\\nAn easy to read and encouraging book.

Everyday encouragement
Naomi trekked the world to find the hidden stories of everyday christians doing everyday things in extraordinary ways. Naomi's skill of story telling yet again takes you inside the lives of people called to share their gifts and faith with unreached nations; while offering encouragement to do the same with our neighbours, friends, shop assistants or anyone who we meet while doing our everyday things.
