As much as Jamie Lorentzen attends to devotional reading habits in this book, he writes for readers to whom Kierkegaard himself attended, namely, individuals navigating innately human crossroads of existence where nihilism, religious skepticism, and religious belief meet.

America's first appointed woman missionary kept a journal recording her experiences in a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, religiously pluralistic world. Charlotte Atlee White Rowe's 1815-1822 journal recounts her cross-cultural work among Hindus, Muslims, Eurasians, and Europeans in British India. Most of her entries come from her first years and reveal a ministry being shaped by experience and reflection. An introduction and conclusion sketch her life before and after India. It is a remarkable addition to mission, women's, and Baptist studies.
