A family obeys God’s call to leave their life in America and be a part of God’s transforming work among the Yao people in Northern Mozambique. This is a true story of God’s bottomless love for the “unreached.” It is also a story of steadfast friendships, surprising betrayals, suffering, and heroism using vibrant language that makes the people on the pages come alive.
Dr. Julie Henderson received her veterinary degree from Texas A&M University in 1990. She is board certified in Equine surgery and owned an equine specialty practice for 14 years before she and her husband, Steve, joined Christian Veterinary Mission in 2009. Together Julie and Steve lived and worked in Northern Mozambique to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since then, they have returned to Texas and are again working in their respective fields but their hearts are broken for the lost. They travel to Mozambique yearly to visit their loved ones and encourage the church there. They also enjoy spending time with their family including their five grandchildren, three horses, and one spoiled cat. A Beautiful Season is Dr. Henderson's memoir of their faith journey and is her first book.
This book is so encouraging and well written! As I read, I felt like I got to know the Yao people that Julie and Steve lived among in Mozambique. The stories that Julie relates are both heartwarming and very real, in terms of the struggles that the people face. It is evident that Steve and Julie were called by God to devote their lives to that village at that time, and that their ministry and love for the people will have an eternal effect. The Kingdom of God is advancing all over the world, through faithful people who respond to His calling!
