This book is a trumpet call to all believers in Jesus Christ everywhere to heed His Great Commission. It is a story of not just looking for a mission field, but to see the mission field where you live, whether it be in a rural area or a large city. The author begins by saying that she was from a small town in the Midwest and was happily ensconced there with her family. But God called her and her family to live in San Francisco, a big city with a lot of problems. So, from her experience, she penned this book that is an encouragement for all Christians to live in a way that you are a missionary wherever you call home. You may never get to visit a foreign missions field, but the author states emphatically that you are to get to know your neighborhood and your neighbors, whoever they are, and let them know that Jesus loves them. You are to live in such a way that others see Jesus in you. Through a series of tales of her life as a “sent believer”, the author shows us how possible it is to “Live Sent in the Place You Call Home.” This was one of the best books that I have read to help believers to feel a purpose right where they are and to accept where God has placed us as His place for us right now and in this time. I would highly recommend this book to all Christians everywhere, especially those who feel as if they are not doing work for the Lord. Yes, you are and yes, you can! That is the message of this book, and it is forthright and challenging in its honesty.
