“I have just finished Heading Home. Thank you! The prayers at the end of each chapter have inspired and encouraged me, touched my heart deeply….someone else has felt like me!”

“Loved your books Naomi. I read the first two whilst living as an expat in Mumbai and read and shared excerpts with our ladies Bible study there. It was so relevant for us as a group and for me personally. I am now repatriated in the UK and was struggling to settle back ‘home’ when I came across ‘Heading Home’ in a church bookshop here in the UK. It’s been a fantastic help and encouragement to me. Thank you so much!!”

“I just want to tell you how much I am enjoying reading your books. My husband and I spent 4yrs in the highlands of PNG teaching in Christian schools. I can relate so much to so many of your experiences. I have just read chapter 19 of “Heading Home” – Mud on the Carpet and I must tell you I love your writing -it is so inspiring. I agree re-entry is harder than leaving. Finding your place back home is quite a journey. Thank you so much for your writing.”

Thank you for writing out your thoughts and frustrations in a book that we can identify with and learn from. I have also read and loved My Seventh Monsoon and No Ordinary View.”

Reader –
“I have just started reading your new book Heading Home and I love it. It is so interesting. I love the way you have finished the chapters off with a prayer. It is relevant that we all think about the fact we are not really at home in this world. Thanks so much for writing it!”

“My copy of ‘Heading Home’ arrived, and I have finished it and passed it along. I love it. Thank you for being salty – making me thirst even more for Jesus and home. I really appreciated reading it for so many reasons. It hits home with many aspects of my life at the moment. When I get it back from the three people in the queue to read my copy, I will be sitting down with each chapter and chewing the cud a bit more…”
