My African Dream

Inspiring and challenging memoir from Mark and Patrica Roser documenting their adventures over the past 30 years in war torn Zimbabwe. From colonialism to poverty, war, dictators and AIDS, this beautifully documented story will change your view of the world and your place in it.

Spanning three decades, My African Dream is an epic adventure of firm faith and loyal love. It chronicles how a family, a nation, and a continent are changed and emerge in a world vastly different from what they entered. It is not just the story of Africa but redemptive history; a narrative of how a loving, holy Creator-Redeemer rescues us and transforms our world. It is an account of not only where Africa has been, but where she's headed - more Christians in African than North America.

The Rosers' memoirs will open for you a wide window into the soul of Africa, telling her real story, close-up. You will laugh and cry as you experience this roller coaster ride in a land on the brink of anarchy. Their story may even change your view of the world and your place in it.
