This is a collection of vignettes based on the real dangers and firsthand accounts from the author’s experiences living in Afghanistan.

All of the locations and names, including the author’s name, have been changed to protect the participants. Riveting and fast paced, In the Land of Blue Burqas depicts sharing the love and truth of Christ with women living in Afghanistan, which has been called "the world's most dangerous country in which to be born a woman." These stories are honest and true and the harsh reality of their lives is not sugar-coated. These stories provide insight into how a Jesus-follower brought Jesus' teachings of the Kingdom of God to Afghanistan. And reveal the splendor of Christ, the desire of human hearts, and that precious moment where the two meet.
