In the Land of Blue Burqas
In the Land of Blue Burqas | Kate McCord
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
I lived in Afghanistan for five years. I learned the rules I had to. Riveting and fast paced, In the Land of Blue Burqas depicts sharing the love and truth of Christ with women living in Afghanistan, which has been called "the world's most dangerous country in which to be born a woman." These stories are honest and true. The harsh reality of their lives is not sugar-coated, and that adds to the impact of this book. Through storytelling, the author shows how people who don't know Christ come to see Him, His truth, and His beauty. The stories provide insight into how a Jesus-follower brought Jesus' teachings of the Kingdom of God to Afghanistan. They reveal the splendor of Christ, the desire of human hearts, and that precious instance where the two meet. All of the names ofthose involvedincluding Kate'splus the locations have been changed to protect the participants.

Very interesting account of the authors 5 years living in Afghanistan. I learned so much about the culture and the faith of the country. In some ways this book helped me understand some of the challenges Afghan people face in daily life. In other ways my heart broke for the country and their reticence toward growth and change. My heart also breaks for the many ways that this country has been treated by others.
