These are all books or videos which have been an inspiration for me as I’ve been led along this arrowed adventure. My passion for God’s glory around the globe didn’t happen overnight and much has come by seeing what God has done in the past. I encourage you to pick one or two and start reading/ watching/ learning/ growing! They are in no particular order and I bolded the ones that are the best ones to begin with. Happy reading!
