Longing for a Homeland: Discovering the Place You Belong

Front Cover
Simon and Schuster, 2010 M06 15 - 224 pages
In Longing for a Homeland, Lynn Anderson traces the wanderings and homesickness of the human race and the irresistible urge to find a place called "home."

Home. It is the place we all long to be, yet in today's fragmented society, the concept of home is elusive for many people. It is the story of a journey toward fulfillment—a search to fill the God-shaped hole inside—that ends only when we discover that home is not a building, a geographical location, or a people—it is the love, security, and rest that can only be found in the presence of God. Join Anderson on the journey of a lifetime—a journey to the very heart of God—and experience the peace and joy that can found there. Come home—your life will never be the same.
