Apprehensions haunt Audra as she and her husband, Kevin, answer God's call for missionary service and take their three young children to live in Yemen. Having endured her husband's deadly illness, Audra's faith falters when she watches her young daughter, Madison, suffer from mysterious seizures. "Why?" she cries to God, and finds her answer in a question. Surrounded by conservative Muslims and her own family crises,Audra struggles to live her Christian faith unapologetically, as the Yemeni women live their Islamic faith. Longing to get behind their black veils to know the "jewels sparkling with life underneath," Audra is invited into their lives and friendships are forged. Sharing their births, weddings, and funerals, Audra is engulfed with opportunities to minister behind the veils. Filled with humor, passion, and frank honesty, Behind the Veils of Yemen gives glimpses rarely seen into the heart of Islam, of women who cling to Audra when their hopes shrivel and their own faith is insufficient. Culminating with the birth of a critically-ill infant, Audra gives powerful glimpses of the unlimited sufficiency of Christ and His heart of limitless love.
