I’m so happy to announce that In Every Moment: Recounting God’s Goodness in Overseas Life is available now on Amazon in paperback and ebook. Thank you all for your encouragement, prayers, and support along the way. I am excited, relieved, and nervous. I know God prompted me to record these stories so I set them free and let him do with them what he will.

I’ll let the back cover speak for itself:

REMEMBER GOD'S GOODNESS SO FAITH WILL ENDURE

Have you followed God to far-flung places and now wonder if he’s worth it? In your distress, have you struggled to recall the Lord’s goodness?

In this 12-week devotional-memoir, global worker Eva Burkholder tells the truths she learned about God during remarkable times like riots and deep grief as well as in routine days of parenting and rat extermination. She invites you to encounter God’s goodness through:

-Vulnerable, humorous, and relatable stories from cross-cultural life
-Mini Bible studies with practical application questions
-Reflections on God’s unchanging character
-Liturgies to pray when words are hard to find
-Invitations to recall and share your own faith stories

In Every Moment will inspire those who serve overseas and those who never will, those wondering if obedience is worth the cost, parents and grandparents longing to pass on their faith, and anyone needing reassurance that God is still present, powerful, and good.

Here’s what others are saying about In Every Moment:

In Every Moment reminds us of God’s faithfulness throughout our lives wherever we live. Her stories encourage us to follow God’s leading to the world beyond or back home again. —Sue Eenigenburg, co-author of Expectations and Burnout, Sacred Siblings, Grit to Stay Grace to Go

Eva Burkholder vulnerably shares personal stories from her own years on the field and invites us to see that the Lord is ever-working in the miraculous and the mundane of our sojourning. —Heather Fallis, creator of Liturgies for a Life Abroad

This book is a gift for anyone who has ever tried to follow God in unfamiliar places—geographically or spiritually. Through honest, funny, and deeply faithful stories, Eva invites us to remember God’s goodness in our own journeys. —Sarah Hilkemann, Velvet Ashes Director of Operations

Whether you have personally served overseas or not, Eva’s challenge to remember and tell will inspire you to share your own personal story. Her heartfelt liturgies and transparent reflections will assure other workers that they are not alone in the challenges they face. —Lorrie Lindgren, CEO of Thrive Ministry, retired

Eva Burkholder’s life in global work overseas was not glamorous or amazing. It was slowly, methodically, frustratingly, and painstakingly normal. —Craig Miller, Director for Educational Development, Indigenous Ministries International

In Every Moment is an ideal guide for global workers and their teams at any stage of the journey, but also for those who want to prayerfully understand and support the “hard work” of gospel seed sowing. —Steve Richardson, President, Pioneers USA

Eva invites us to remember our stories, to reflect on truth, and even more powerful, she invites us to also press into God's character in life's twists and turns, finding that God is still good. —Elliot D. Stephens, Global Equip Leader, Pioneers

In this devotional, Eva warmly invites the reader into moments of her ministry life in Indonesia while sharing Biblical truths revealed through these experiences. —Melissa Wilger, Albania

This is a must-read devotional designed specifically for global workers! Structured as a 12-week devotional with liturgies, honest Indonesian stories, scripture, and invitations to remember and respond. —Amy Young, Author, Looming Transitions, Founder, Global Trellis

Now that In Every Moment is out in the world, I’d appreciate your help sharing it. Please would you tell your social media followers about the book, post an announcement in your agency or church’s communication channel, or give a copy to a friend? Texts, emails, and verbal recommendations are also very welcome.

I’d also love to be a guest on your blog or podcast if it’s appropriate. My One Sheet may give you ideas of possible discussion topics related to the book. And while In Every Moment is a devotional, it can be adapted for a group, providing an immediate setting for you and your friends to remember your own stories of God’s goodness and tell them to one another. For this I’ve created a helpful guide.

If you purchase the book and read it, I’d be honored if you would write reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, and like and comment on reviews written by others.

It is my hope and prayer that In Every Moment will inspire you to remember your own stories of God’s goodness and share them with those of the next generation.
