The book will be available for purchase at the event.
Hastings is a Lexington, Indiana, resident, as well as wife, mother and grandmother who has more than 30 years of experience in journalism. She describes “Mission Possible” as an engaging historical fiction with heart. The book is a reimagining of a true story that finds two determined missionaries on an unexpected journey of fate during a trip to South America, followed by their life work in various regions while there.
The book is the story of two ambitious young Americans convinced that God has called them to share the good news of the gospel in South America. The couple, George and Alice, and their young son, Phillip, embark on the unknown in the early 1950s as they are given the plans for their mission work in the Presbyterian East Mission of Brazil.
After a brief time serving a church in Tennessee as a newly graduated seminary student, George is ready to fulfill his dream of serving abroad. Alice is excited to embark on this adventure in a land where she and her husband can bring a sense of hope to many, while grappling with a new life and a growing family.
Their limitations and naiveté are compounded with perils of the jungle, along with the endless physical, language and cultural differences encountered.
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Hastings’s novel will draw readers in as they journey back to the 1950s with Alice, George, and Phillip. Hastings provides an immersive reading experience that brings a bygone era to life as an exciting spiritual adventure unfolds.
People can buy “Mission Possible” at traditional brick and mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes & Noble. For additional information or inquiries about “Mission Possible,” contact the Christian Faith Publishing media department at 866-554-0919.
