Sailaway:
Sailing around the world on a luxury cruise would seem to be a very "worldly" thing to do. But the year was 1977, the ship was the Queen Elizabeth 2, and world cruising was just getting started. During the three-month voyage across the Caribbean, South America, South Africa, India, south-east Asia, and into communist China, author Christine Darg and her husband Peter encountered people and places from a now fading memory.
During the long days at sea, Christine befriended some of the ship's passengers and crew, and discovered that wherever you are in the world, the human heart has the same needs. The trip was an opportunity to explore her own Christian faith, and seek a deeper meaning while encountering the Holy Spirit. This new faith strengthened her for ports of call in British Hong Kong and Japan, before finally reaching the bright lights of Los Angeles, and saying goodbye to a lifetime adventure.

This story is a well written memoir of of a young Christian couple who sell all and take a three month cruise around the world in the QE II. It’s a great adventure on multiple levels.
