A page-turner with the urgency of John Grisham, the swashbuckling pace of Clive Cussler, and the laugh-out-loud honesty of Patrick F. McManus—told from the real mission fields of West Africa.
Step into a world where border checkpoints feel like courtrooms, jungle roads read like high-stakes sea chases, and everyday ministry turns into campfire-worthy tales that make you snort-laugh in public. Joe Consford’s true stories are brisk, bold, and brimming with faith, danger, and humor—the kind you retell to friends (bad accents optional).
