Far From Home
Born and raised in India, author Mabel Ninan came to America confident, equipped, and ready for adventure. But as the novelty of the experience faded, the struggle of living in an unfamiliar environment began to take its toll. She reached a breaking point, and wrestled with questions about her identity and calling.Mabel's desperate search for purpose and belonging brought her to her knees before the throne of God. It was there that God turned her perspective around, showing her that her struggle was also her strength. She discovered her true identity, not only as an earthly immigrant but also a spiritual one by design, a pilgrim of Heaven just passing through. She began to see herself through God's eyes, that He had created her with a unique spiritual ethnicity to impact His kingdom.In Far from Home, Mabel draw parallels between her immigrant experiences and her God-given appointment as a wayfarer and stranger on earth. Using the stories of biblical 'immigrant' heroes, she sheds light on what it means to truly live as citizens of Heaven: Embracing our identity as foreigners on earth, set apart to fulfill our Heavenly calling. Making our home with God, recognizing that our earthly anchors are fleeting. Finding community in the universal body of believers and working together to further the Kingdom.Far from Home serves as a guidebook for Christians looking to build a stronger walk with God, to experience a joyful and meaningful life as the temporal gives way to the hope of Heaven.
