Faith and hardship in a missionary life

Continuing the account begun in *By Searching*, Isobel S. Kuhn’s *In the Arena* looks back on the trials she experienced as a missionary. Kuhn interprets these hardships through a Christian understanding of the biblical arena: not as punishment, but as occasions in which God revealed Himself. The book’s perspective is shaped by her reflection on her life while she was dying of cancer, and by her belief that some of its most valuable lessons came through times of trial. Its subject is both a life of Christian missionary work and the meaning Kuhn drew from adversity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian religious biography.
  • Those seeking a missionary’s reflections on hardship and faith.
  • Readers familiar with *By Searching* who want to continue Kuhn’s story.

Book overview

In the Arena continues the story of Isobel Kuhn, begun in bestselling "By Searching." The title refers to the biblical idea that the Christian is on display, like someone condemned to die in the arena. Isobel was convinced that the trials of her life as a missionary were "arena experiences" which God used not to punish her but to reveal Himself. As she looked back on her life when dying of cancer, she felt that her most valuable lessons had been learned during times of trial.
