An Inspiring Story

Undaunted: Daring to Do What God Calls You to Do by Christine Caine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Some of the stuff that goes on in our world today is shocking. It’s difficult to imagine teen girls involved in human trafficking, abused, sex slaves, facing their lives with no escape, beatings, and even death. I was amazed when I read about such cases. In my little world, such happenings are impossible. Or are they?

In her book UNDAUNTED, Author Christine Caine begins the story at a safe house in Greece, run by The A21 Campaign, the rescue ministry that she and her husband, Nick, started. She’s talking with fourteen young women, from European countries, who had been rescued from sex trafficking. The stories the author hears are heartbreaking. The question the girls ask her is even more so. “Why didn’t you come sooner?” As she considered the question from the teens, she also thought of her own story.

The discovery of the secrets about her life, along with Nick’s love and understanding, helped Christine Caine to heal and to forgive as God asks us to do. She gives examples from Scripture to show others that have forgiven: Joseph, for example, who forgave his brothers, saying God intended what happened to him for the good. Dealing with her struggles opened her eyes to what God had done for her and wanted her to do for others.

Christine Caine’s reflections about her life as she followed God’s will for her, along with quotes from the Bible make UNDAUNTED an inspiring story that will lift your heart and give you courage to face whatever obstacles you encounter. I know the book has encouraged me to reach out to others, knowing God will show me the way. It will help teens who are dealing with their own situations find the answers they need. With God, all things are possible.
