“We all have a story and they are all too good not to be told.”
CIndy DeBoer
Far, Far Better Things
What happens when you’ve reached all your earthly goals and you’re only twenty-eight-years old?
What if you’ve realized the American Dream and you’re pretty confident it’s all a big blessing from Jesus, yet you still feel miserably lacking in purpose and fulfillment?
What makes a reasonably wealthy American Christian family walk away from their perfectly scripted life—dream home, luxury vacations, lake house, perfect church, tons of family and friends—and follow God to the ends of the earth? How would any young family have the courage to leave all the things the world says we should strive for and choose a life of intentional simplifying, serial downsizing, and two major moves overseas?
Cindy’s memoir chronicles their family’s unorthodox Christian journey that began as a result of praying in earnest: “Lord, help us to live what we say we believe.” With the division among American Christians ever widening and both left and right adherents throwing daggers at each other, this book serves as a uniting battle cry by encouraging followers of Jesus to do just that: follow his lead. Live like he lived. Love like he loved. Christians in general—and middle-aged to older specifically who are still searching for purpose will discover a revolutionary way of living in Cindy’s memoir that offers a radical kind of peace and contentment. Readers will learn that the DeBoers are just your average suburban family who found the courage to subvert a safe and comfortable life for a risky and riotous ride that led them to far, far better things.
