| Publisher Description: This sequel to Guinea Pig for Breakfast continues Doctor Andrea s adventures in Ecuador. Filled with heart-warming stories about the patients and families she meets, it describes the culture and faith of her neighbours. Andrea also faces new challenges when her husband has an accident, her second child is born and thieves are on the prowl. How will she cope with homeschooling her children and the demands of her patients? An inspiring story that will keep you turning the pages. "Guinea Pig for Brunch delivers excellent insight into everyday living in Ecuador with the privations of poverty and danger laid alongside the simple faith and warmth of the individuals who come under Dr. Andrea Gardiner's care. Woven throughout, Andrea honestly shares her own questions and struggles as she brings up her daughters in a culture very different to that of her birth. More than a missionary doctor story, this is rather an unfolding of one woman's journey of trust and obedience to the God who called her to serve the suffering. I heartily recommend Guinea Pig for Brunch, but beware - you will be challenged " Catherine Campbell, author of 'Under the Rainbow' and 'God Knows Your Name' "This is a remarkable book about 'grace under pressure' and the miracle working power of God to change lives in the midst of crisis. It will stay with me for a long time...." Jen Rees Larcombe, author |
