Touched by the African Soul

In this collection of short stories, sixty-two missionary women recall their adventuresome years in Tanzania, Africa, from the 1940s to the 1990s. The stories tell of personal experiences of the writers and give insight into the culture and Christian faith of the Tanzanian people among whom they lived and worked. One of the writers was asked, "How have your years in Tanzania affected your life?" She answered, "It affects everything I do, what I think about, what I pray about, what I read... I have been touched by Africa's soul."
