1 post | 1 read

LIBERIA, ISLAM, AND A PASTOR'S SEARCH FOR RECONCILIATION IN AN AGE OF TERROR Though she'd loved, taught, and protected him when he was younger, Tony Weedor's Muslim mother Manifah disowned him after he abandoned his imam training to follow Jesus. Tony finished college and went to work for a missionary agency. After barely escaping civil war in his native Liberia, he spent three years in a refugee camp with his wife and daughter before being brought to America, where he graduated from seminary and began a career in international ministry. Now, after an absence of thirteen years, Pastor Tony Weedor returns in the wake of 9/11 to a Liberia devastated by war hoping to reconcile with the woman he still calls "Mama."

The Reason for Tears: A Memoir | Andy Straka, Tony Weedor

pick

Powerful story of how the author grew up in Liberia. From a small rural village to the capital city of Monrovia. He grew up Muslim but converted to faith in Jesus Christ. Eventually after hardship and civil war he went to America for more schooling. The book tells his story from birth while also telling a more current story of returning to Liberia to reconnect with his mother. Great book.
