Tea with Elephants by Robin Jones Gunn

 

Ever since they met as teenagers volunteering at a conference center in Costa Rica 20 years ago, Fern Espinoza and Lily Graden have shared a close friendship, even though they live in different states. They can hardly believe it when their teen dream of traveling to Africa together becomes a reality. It's the trip of a lifetime--but life sure isn't what they thought it would be back when they were young.

Along with their suitcases, each woman brings along emotional baggage that weighs heavily on them. Yet the people they meet and the places they experience have the power to change their hearts--but only if they surrender to the lessons God wants to teach them in this unexpected land of emerald tea fields, graceful giraffes, and rambunctious elephants.

Pack your bags and get ready for adventure as Robin Jones Gunn invites you on a safari of the heart in this vulnerable exploration of how to move forward in faith even when the future is uncertain.

This is a book that reads like a warm hug, two friends that are there for one another through life's journey. They live miles apart, but when the need occurs, they are there. Now they are on an unexpected gift of a safari to Africa, and they are going make so many memories.

Two girls, Fern and Lily, friends since teenagers, and now about to experience a magical trip together. God has plans for their lives, and this trip has such a spiritual affect on them.

Come and get lost in this page turner, I now want to go and see this beautiful area and lunch with giraffe's!
