When you arrive at foreign shores by sailboat, it’s not such a small world after all.Come along with Glen and Julie as they sail around the world and discover that reality is even bigger than the Escape they imagined. This breathtakingly personal true story will thrill those wanting to sail off into the sunset or enjoy the wonders of the world from the comfort of home. Escape from the Ordinary reminds you of the unlimited possibilities in life and nudges the reader into thoughts of their own dreams. Not a technical book about sailing or storm tactics but vividly described, full-tilt adventures on foreign shores. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING “Secretly, we wish we had it in us, but life, fear, jobs, money or whatever creates roadblocks. What courage they must have had to follow this dream! So many places, so many adventures, and lessons learned. All along, because of Julie's descriptions, you are thinking, "How would I have handled that?" "What would I have done?" I love that it's written from a woman's point of view; and from someone who had little sailing experience. I recommend it highly!”“Couldn’t put it down,” described one reader, “as Escape from the Ordinary took me beyond the glimpses of liveaboard life told in sailing and travel magazines. I felt like I was onboard as they fought storms in the north Atlantic their first week at sea, navigated the Panama Canal dwarfed by oil tankers, and snorkeled in crystal clear Polynesian waters.”“Told with keen observations and sparkling with wry humor, Julie Bradley describes the terrors and pleasures of living an independent life where simple decisions have big consequences; where the mundane is seconds away from a life-threatening scare; and where seafaring obstacles can pale next to facing personal challenges. If you have an ounce of adventure in your soul, read this book.” “Ordinary people can do extraordinary things...This is not a trip to Cabo for a two-week vacation. This is true life …, on the edge real adventure. I loved it…” Amazon ReviewerGREAT PEOPLE, PLACES AND PROSEYou will want an atlas by your side as you travel from one epic adventure to the next with Glen and Julie on board their floating home; an Amel sailboat.

What was it like for a young Christian girl to grow up in Pakistan? THE DESPICABLE MISSIONARY is a true story that traces the life of Victoria from birth to a young adult, as she leans to defend her faith, and love Muslims. Follow her though turbulent political times from Partition, through military dictatorship and the Muslim revolution in Pakistan. Learn what she learned about forgiveness and love for the man she was engaged to as a child, who abandoned her, and years later returned to ask her to marry him. Then, as immigrants in the United States, live with her through the tragedy of 9-11, the stereotyping by Americans of immigrants from Pakistan, and the time when she finds her voice, telling of the love God has for all people, even enemies. THE DESPICABLE MISSIONARY is a testimony by someone who chose to live in Jesus' Way, a life that brought peace and comfort to those who suffer.
