À propos de cet audio

 Brady, a multifaceted journalist, historian, adventure writer, and Episcopal priest, shares his personal journey as a missionary on the American frontier. His vivid recollections bring to life the unique experiences of a missionary, blending work with pleasure, joy with hardship, and fun with pathos. With honesty, he states, “the experiences are personal and actually occurred as they are set down, to the best of my recollection.” While only one story is creatively woven together from multiple true incidents, the essence of his narrative captures the spirit of the average missionarys life on the Western frontier. This book invites readers to appreciate the everyday joys and challenges of a life dedicated to faith, showcasing the Episcopal spirituality that recognizes the world as a divine gift meant to be embraced with excitement and gratitude. One captivated reader even devoured the entire book in one sitting, drawn not just by its religious themes but by its rich portrayal of frontier life and the remarkable people within it. Notably, chapter 3 introduces The Daughters Of The King, a laywomen’s order in the Episcopal Church committed to prayer and service while leading ordinary lives.
