Synopsis "The Space Between Memories"

The past is gone and can never be relived, while the future remains uncertain and out of reach. What David Joannes came to believe, three decades into a life spent chasing God's call across Asia, is that only the present moment touches eternity. Within that narrow, passing space, each unique memory takes shape, making every moment deeply valuable. He arrived in Hong Kong as an idealistic young man bent on smuggling Bibles into mainland China and stayed for fifteen years, weathering midnight interrogations in police stations that left him with a criminal record earned in service of the Gospel. He fell in love with a girl from the Philippines, married her, and together they built a family and a mission organization. Along the way, he was held at gunpoint by child soldiers in a Myanmar narco state, transported by tractor through a mountain village by former headhunters, and introduced to an underground movement that was transforming entire communities. The Space Between Memories is David's account of his journey through some of the world's most unreached corners of the world. Paced like an adventure novel and honest to a fault, this memoir travelogue holds a deeper belief: God is nearest not in the memories we've framed or the future we envision. He is right here in the sliver of now where past converges with future to reveal our calling and our purpose. This tenth anniversary edition features a new closing chapter, "Another Decade," that looks back on the early days of his missionary work thirty years later and explores the importance of living in the present.
