Gloria Furman and her family decided to take a leap of faith and move to the Middle East with just her husband and baby girl, to plant Redeemer Church of Dubai.

Her husband, Dave, is the pastor there and they have added two more children since then and one more is due this summer. 
Furman runs her blog called, Domestic Kingdom, and helps serve the ladies in the community and teach at women's events. 

She is also the author of the new book, Glimpses of Grace: Treasuring the Gospel in Your Home. 

This is the official description of the book:

"Sometimes life feels a lot like a burden-day-in and day-out its the same chores and tasks, challenges and discouragements, anxieties and responsibilities. Dust bunnies show up on the stairwell, social commitments clutter the calendar, and our families demand daily attention and care. At times, just catching our breath seems like an impossible feat.

So where is God in all of this? Does he care about the way we unload the dishwasher or balance the budget? Do the little things like changing diapers or cooking meals make a difference? And how can we use our spheres of influence for God's glory and our joy?

Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a working woman splitting time between the office and home, Gloria Furman-writer, pastor's wife, cross-cultural worker, and mom-encourages us to see the reality of God's grace in all of life, especially those areas that often appear to be boring and unimportant. Using personal examples and insightful stories, her richly theological reflections help us experience the gospel's extraordinary power to transform our ordinary lives."

Glimpes of Grace: Treasuring the Gospel in Your Home was released on May 31st and published by Crossway.  

Furman has another new book, Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full: Gospel Meditations for Busy Moms, coming out on Crossway in 2014.
