By an Unfamiliar Path is about David and Arlene Peters—competent, dedicated and effective missionaries whose mininstry has taken them from the primitive Paez Indian tribe in Colombia, to the exciting Bogota Encounter Church, to the third largest city in the world—Sao Paulo, Brazil, and finally to Mexico. Readers will get a candid view of missions not always portrayed: the bending of human wills to God's will, the reality of possible widowhood and death, the ups and downs of MK school, the hand of God in church planting and demon confrontation. This is a story of a family determined to follow God—even down unfamiliar paths.

This book explains why some missionaries are being led to reject the missional models and many of the methodologies which are the most widely accepted by North American evangelical missionaries working in France. The author demonstrates that the evangelical Protestant missionaries' witness for Christ in Western Europe is often ineffective because their governing missional paradigm and their ministry methods, working in conjunction, tend to project a separatist image and isolate them from those they wish to influence for Christ. The author argues for the development of a missionary spirituality based upon the kenosis and an understanding of Christian unity based upon the perichoresis.

Along Unfamiliar Paths is a therapeutic conversation about our perilous journey through life and all its uncertainties, with Christ as the healing agent. This book is for the imperfect people of the world, those who have deficits. It is for the parents who abandoned their children, the children who suffer from that abandonment, the husband and wife who do not love each other, the family that is divided, and the friends who have hurt and betrayed each other. Each poem is emulative of the conversations I have with my father—unhurried, non-judgmental, and refreshing in their blunt honesty, as coming from someone who genuinely cares. Overall, my hope is that the work nourishes your thoughts so you can heal your wounded heart.

Life is unknown, mysterious journey that offers us diverse experiences. These experiences mould our personalities and our outlooks to life. In the course of life, our experiences can be good or bad. While good experiences give us a sense of comfort, it is the 'bad' experiences that truly teach us truths about life. Some of us become strong after facing such 'bad' experiences while others simply give up. The author has beautifully described Rama's journey through a dark, unknown forest and Michel's journey through a dark, unknown tunnel. What does Rama learn from his journey? How does he deal with his experiences? What about Michel? The Journey of the Unknown Path narrates their fascinating experiences. "You will be given what you need at the right time on your journey without you knowing about it."
