Review: Walking by Faith, Not by Sight.

When Lynda Visco was summoned to the African bush in a missionary effort to spread the teachings of Christianity, she would have no way of knowing the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual challenges she would face. Her calling took her to places she'd never dreamed of as she subjected herself to conditions far different than the normal luxuries we experience in day-to-day Western life. As a Paramedic of more years than she might care to admit to, Lynda has often dealt with emergencies plagued with turmoil, chaos, challenges, tragedy, death and things that would nauseate even those with fairly strong stomachs. Even still, her experiences in Africa tested the limits of her body and soul. This book is her personal account, taken straight from her daily diary entries, of the challenges she faced and how she managed to get through each day and each struggle by, as the title suggests, her inspiring willingness to trust in Faith. It is with a great deal of candor, humor, honesty, humility and love, that Lynda recounts in vivid detail her experiences as a missionary in the African Wilds. Allow her to take you with her on a journey that will not only bring home the harsh realities of the lives of financially destitute African villagers, but will make you laugh and cry and restore your faith in the goodness of humanity.
