Jean's Journey Marjorie Truesdale

When Jean and her fiancé's dream of sharing the Gospel in Africa is shattered due to unexpected circumstances, the future looks murky. But God gives them a new assignment instead of Africa. Following His lead, they became home missionaries in the harsh winters of central Montana and the impoverished Ozarks of south Missouri. In obeying Him, their ministry and story touched countless lives, intersecting with heroes of the faith like Roger Youderian, as well as so many others like him. Taken from her personal memories, her father's journals, and other firsthand accounts, this historical biography is written by Jean's daughter, Marjorie Jantz Truesdale. Marjorie details the hardships, the blessings, and the God-moments that Jean's growing family experienced throughout the Great Depression, World War II, and beyond. Perhaps more importantly, Jean's Journey delves into the critical topic of psychological trauma in the Body of Christ, which is not discussed enough today. Despite Jean's childhood hurts and the mental health issues she struggled with for most of her adult life, Jean's Journey is ultimately a story of hope. God is our great healer. He can and will use even the most broken of us to perform His perfect will.
