An Addition to Our Bookshelves

A copy of "Displaced Reflections," a new book by Oddny Gumaer, is being added to the library shelves at First Presbyterian Church of Midland, in celebration of the First Thailand Mission Team, 2008. Oddny Gumaer is co-founder of Partners Relief & Development with her husband, Steve, who recently appeared in the Tall City as part of a speaking tour of the western United States.

Open this book - we are told - and meet the peoples of Burma. They are beaten, displaced and victimized by their own government. Yet they are beautiful, full of grit and humor, and deeply rooted in a rich history of faith. In this book of photos and reflections, Oddny Gumaer and Brent Madison do more than tell stories. They open a door for us to live in the shoes of people who define what it means to demonstrate grace under pressure.
