I had every intention of reading this book and writing an honest review but it expired before I had the chance. My apologies, If you like to resend it to me I would be happy to get it reviewed,

One young woman. Brazil. Wales. Tanzania. China. Honduras.
With a lot of fluids on hand (coffee as a must), Amanda Hudson reflects on different faces of Christianity in the world.

I like this part memoir/part reflection, part cultural/part religious insight book a lot. Ms Hudson is obviously a warm, bright, curious young woman gifted with a sense to see the small things and transform those things into deeper reflections. She can also see the best in the situations - I am sure I would be unhappy/annoyed about many issues she is writing about, but she is covering them with fun and lightness of the heart.
She is also quite thoughtful - she can ask very accurate questions and offers very interesting insights. I can particularly relate to the fear of saying YES to God (the last reflection).

Being European, I can relate to Wales part and the perceives emptiness and lack of believers there. And I can definitely relate to the question of pain as a key issue in how to people in Western part of world perceive God.
Of course, there is much pain in the world, and in the remaining 4 visited countries there is a particularly hard poverty/illness/oppression/control problematic state of things there. But maybe the pain there in 4 countries is external, so to say, and here in West the pain is internal, the lack of connection with the Living God? Maybe.
But the food for thought is interesting for me on my own life way.

Interesting small read. The book is not aspiring to be neither "big" travel book nor "big" religious teaching book. But in its "smallness" and honesty it can offer maybe a stone to turn in your soul, or just a reflection of your daily life - and this is enough, at least for me.
