Southward Bound: The adventure and wonder of road trips through Latin America - Paperback

by David Miller (Author)

Have you ever felt the urge to travel south of the Rio Grande?

If you do, prepare yourself for challenge and wonder. Latin America is both fascinating and exasperating, a place of stunning beauty and stubborn poverty. Its long and rich history has produced marvels and mysteries, heroes and hooligans. The Miller family has lived and worked in Latin America for four decades. In 2009, four of them undertook a three-month road trip from their home state of Indiana to their adopted home in Bolivia, traveling over 12,000 miles through a dozen countries in busses, boats and an aged Toyota sedan. This book is a chronicle of that experience, a journey they fondly refer to as "The Epic."

One little-known fact about Latin America is that it was the last place on earth touched by the modern missionary movement. Evangelical Christianity has existed there for only a century or so, yet Latin Americans are spreading the gospel of Jesus today at light speed. Its impact on culture and custom can be seen in more ways than one. Southward Bound: The adventure and wonder of road trips through Latin America, is an easy-to-read guidebook to help you navigate the perils and protocols of venturing on your own beyond the U.S. southern border. Filled with original color photographs, it offers a sneak peek into the beauty that awaits you in Latin America, and the extraordinary work that God is doing there.
