• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When thirteen-year-old Lydia's father announces they're leaving their cozy Wisconsin parsonage for Israel in just forty days, her world turns upside down. What follows is an extraordinary coming-of-age journey that spans continents and transforms a reluctant teenager into a young woman discovering her divine calling.

From the "Little House in the Big Woods" of Wisconsin to the ancient stones of Jerusalem, from the hockey rinks and speed skating ovals of northern Israel to the quiet hills of the Missouri Ozarks, this memoir chronicles one girl's pilgrimage through cross-cultural challenges, spiritual awakening, and the complex realities of growing up as a pastor's kid in extraordinary circumstances.

Through candid diary excerpts and vivid memoir, witness Lydia's transformation as she navigates:

• The shock of leaving everything familiar for life in Jerusalem, then on to life in a war-torn border town, then on to Missouri's Ozarks for a life-altering experience
• Finding her identity on the ice first as a hockey skater, then as a speed skater, as life-altering while rockets fall nearby
• Facing false accusations, betrayal, and the fortress mentalities that exclude
• Wrestling with prophetic dreams and spiritual gifts
• A life-changing accident that awakens her true calling

More than a sports memoir or coming-of-age story-this is the raw, honest account of a "Stranger Lovely" learning to find home not in geography but in God's purposes.

From Wisconsin's pine forests to Galilee's ancient hills, from hockey battles to speed skating grace, from teenage rebellion to surrendered discipleship, Lydia's journey reveals how God transforms our displacement into His appointment, our brokenness into His commission.

Perfect for readers seeking authentic spiritual memoir, sports inspiration, cross-cultural adventure, and the timeless story of discovering that belonging comes not from fitting in, but from finding your place in God's greater story.
