Over the course of nine years, our family circumnavigated the globe four times. We led teams of college students on academic, missional adventures that involved learning about culture, literature, and the relentless love of God in beautiful communities all around the world.

The stories in this collection recount moments when we experienced the goodness of God on the shoulder of a friend. These are moments when we found ourselves needing to depend upon our team or on the community around us. These beautiful moments occurred when doubts and discomfort threatened to capsize our adventure, yet by an unexpected miracle of God, we were able to see differently, navigate obstacles, and take hold of a deeper sense of trust and understanding.

In these moments we did not possess the necessary materials, knowledge, or strength, yet because of the grace of God, expressed through the strength and goodness of friends, we found the tools to continue adventuring.

Industry Reviews

John Norton is a man of faith and action. He and his very special family joined with handpicked undergraduates for international travel all over the world...Professor Norton and his team combined scholarship, service and faith into all they did..the byproduct cannot be measured but know for sure that the trips deeply enhanced his student's vision, knowledge and compassion. His book captures those very qualities which will continue to inspire all of us. --Kevin Davenport Senior Pastor, Saddleback Covenant Church
Reading this book reminded me of how God can use ordinary people to produce extraordinary results for His kingdom throughout the world. When students and teachers truly seek to love their neighbors as themselves, lives are impacted in profound ways. The experiences shared in this story book prove that time and time again. -- Steven J. Buuck, PhD CEO, Faith Lutheran Middle School and High School (Las Vegas, NV)
Too many of us settle for a college experience that is ordinary. John Norton discovered that a journey is often a better venue for learning than a single classroom. His stories wonderfully illustrate how one intrepid family and a class of students can combine global adventure with academic purpose. -- Seth Barnes Founder, Adventures in Missions
