Erica Fye in Kitgum Uganda Introducing a new non-fiction Christian work by author and missionary Erica Fye. For The Joy Set Before Us is an honest and open look into the missionary life. Fye writes with the unique perspective of one who is living the missionary life, bringing the reader to laughter and tears while instructing and encouraging them to follow their calling. “As we stand on the precipice of a life of ministry,” Fye writes, “we will have to answer the question that Jesus poses to each one of us: Are you willing to count the cost?” The book exposes the hardships one endures on the mission field, but also tells of the rewards that come along with such a life. This is a practical guide for anyone looking to engage in overseas missions work. It is an eye opener for those who want to know what missions are all about, for churches or organizations wanting to know what their missionaries experience. It is also enjoyable reading for anyone interested in hearing of the adventures of a New Yorker in the wilderness of Northern Uganda. It is full of the author's personal stories; ranging from comedic, intense, heartbreaking, and victorious.

Clearly written by a woman who is sold out for Christ and wanting to prepare those who want to enter the mission field. She writes a compelling and honest account of the cost and reward for the missionary. After reading this you will not become a missionary with your head in the clouds, you will know tha the price is steep and you must be called or you will not make it. But it is filled with hope and excitement for all that God can do with a simple person who is willing to say 'yes.'" Marie B., Co-owner of TotheBrim printing company, Vice President of Africa4God, Inc. "For The Joy Set Before Us is a must have for every Christian home. It is a touching and honest look into the missionary life that few have shared. This book grips you with its stories while convicting you with its truths. Every Christian, whether they have a heart for missions or not, has a calling on their life. This book encourages the reader to use their gifts and follow their calling, accepting the trials and growth and warfare that will come against them. It reminds us that we have a Great Commission to fulfill, convicts us for not doing so, exposes the warfare that will come against us, and yet reminds us what we are fighting and working for. Everything is brought back to Jesus, as it should be. Erica Fye hides no shameful experience, no harsh heartbreak from the reader. She has an open and honest approach to storytelling that grips the reader, taking them through the ups and downs of her life as a missionary. While reading this, I was brought to tears and incited to laughter; I was convicted of my own complacency and encouraged to serve God more. I would highly recommend For The Joy Set Before Us to anyone young or old. It is a wonderful, enlightening, and encouraging book." - Danielle Rodriguez, Author of Oppression and Who Can Find a Virtuous Wife "A must-read for anyone in missions, whether you're a supporter, in the field, or considering a short or long-term missions experience. A book that not only takes us into the depths of the African mission field, but into the deep of the things of God. An exciting journey with great depth written in a simple and profound way. I wept for missionaries, myself and the world after reading this book. I am challenged." End
