Beth Guckenberger speaks authentically and passionately about how she wound up serving orphans in Monteray, Mexico, despite growing up in suburbia, Ohio. Her collection of stories is raw, inspiring and altogether beautiful to read. You can tell she has shared straight from her heart, and her story is one of allowing the Lord to lead, guide and stretch her beyond her wildest expectations. NCLA Review - We've often heard the phrase, "Let go and let God." The author of this book takes you on a journey through her experiences working with orphans in Mexico ; of her letting go and letting God lead her where she perhaps never thought to go. It is a book of eye opening encounters with the way the Lord shows her the way to go, when she is open to being led. We have all had the feelings of wanting to be in control of situations, Guckenberger asks you the reader to try and remember whose world we are in and whose help we need living in it. Truly inspirational stories of seemingly "Divine Intervention" that makes you wonder if your "mustard seed" faith can indeed move mountains if you'll just let God lead you. It was a fast read, but one that might encourage others to think more deeply about their faith lives. It might also encourage others in small group discussions to share their stories of faith.

"The stories in the chapters that follow aren't chronological. They're not a history of how I found myself living on the side of a mountain in Mexico, and I'm not sure that would interest anyone but my mother and her friends anyway. Instead, I've mined my journals for those moments when God used the very people I thought I was in Mexico to lead, to lead me. Time and again I've been led to trust God, with my little mustard seed of faith, to see how he not only shows up in our circumstance--but he shows off! It's not because he needs to prove himself; rather, he is demonstrating to a forgotten population--the orphans that I serve--that he will be their Father and Protector and Provider." Beth and Todd established a ministry that helps orphans--the poorest, most defenseless members of a needy populace. And while the stories here are drawn from those experiences, this book isn't a memoir. It's about living with faith, with the certainty that God will show up, exactly where and exactly when He's needed. Beth calls it a reckless faith--a willingness to trust even when you don't understand. And her book--an inspiring collection of true stories about real people who, when faced with real challenges, chose to trust God--is a call to live with Reckless Faith.

I have only two critiques just for reviewer's sake. The writing and editing is poor but the book is short so this is a minor quibble. Also, the book is very preachy and I would give it cautiously to somebody with little faith background as I could see them tossing after the first chapter.
www.back2backministries.com is the ministry they helped start. ( )
