A Dream So Big: Our Unlikely Journey to End the Tears of Hunger, by Steve Peifer (with Gregg Lewis)

A Dream So Big:
Our Unlikely Journey to End the Tears of Hunger
Authors: Steve Peifer and Gregg Lewis
Publisher: Zondervan
Publication Date: March 19, 2013












I expected this book to be full of self-congratulatory colonialism--how I rescued these poor African children from themselves, that sort of thing--but it was quite the opposite. I found Steve Peifer's account of teaching in Africa to be both humble and inspiring. I especially liked reading about how much he learned from the children and from the experience. It makes me want to travel more...and help people more, for that matter.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book free from the publisher for review purposes. I was not obliged to write a favourable review, or even any review at all. The opinions expressed are strictly my own.
