Sheep in an SUV and Other African Adventures

Suzanne Crocker. Kearney, Neb.: Morris Publishing, 2010.  123 pp. (Paperback).

After Suzanne Crocker’s first book, “Pig in a Taxi and Other African Adventures,” it was expected that her new one would be entertaining, enlightening and motivating. It is.

This series of vignettes provides a glimpse into Crocker’s life as a missionary to Togo and Benin.

The stories are well told, each one short and followed by a missionary prayer point and a challenge to the reader to consider some aspect of the Christian life.

Crocker grew up as a child of Southern Baptist representatives to Guatemala. After her marriage, she and husband John spent 10 years on the missions field, returning to Huntsville so John could serve as director of missions at Whitesburg Baptist Church.
