Acclaimed Author Evelyn Dykes Chriswell Presents Grambo

April 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Debut author Evelyn Dykes Chriswell is proud to announce the official publication of Grambo: The True Adventures of an American Grandmother in Baghdad...and Beyond, an uplifting account of one devout woman’s journey through love and loss.

About The Book

Grambo: The True Adventures of an American Grandmother in Baghdad...and Beyond is the inspiring, faith-filled memoir chronicling the life of Evelyn Chriswell, a Pentecostal Christian who went to work as a civilian contractor in Iraq during some of the war’s most turbulent early days. It is a gripping and insightful story that documents her life growing up in Louisiana, her early marriage to a fiery faith healer and their work as missionaries, and her continuing journey of love and loss across the globe.

Chriswell’s life has been a tapestry of triumph and tragedy, but through it all her faith sustains her. First and foremost, the author is a devout Christian whose perseverance and humor shines through every page. Though the backdrop is the Iraq war, the book at its essence is a touching love story between a man and a woman, and a woman and her Lord.
