New Memoir "Lo, I Am With You Always" by Ed Purgason Shows

Lo, I Am With You Always by Ed Purgason is a powerful new memoir that invites readers into the heart of East Africa during one of its most turbulent eras. Part missionary chronicle, part love story, and part raw reflection on the spiritual cost of service, the book is an unforgettable testimony of resilience, calling, and the faithful presence of God through every hardship.

Set against the backdrop of post-Amin Uganda, Purgason recounts his years serving as a missionary and youth minister with honesty, humor, and unflinching vulnerability. From confronting spiritual warfare in a Washington guest room, to witnessing unspeakable suffering and resilient joy among Uganda's people, Ed weaves a deeply human narrative of hope and purpose.

He is joined partway through the story by his wife, Susan, a talented former actress whose own voice adds rich depth to the memoir. Together, they navigate marriage, cross-cultural ministry, and personal trials in a land both breathtakingly beautiful and painfully broken.

"This is not a book for those who want to admire someone else's faith from a distance," says Joe Novenson, former pastor at Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church. "It's a book that challenges you to live your own story of courageous dependence on God."

With endorsements from seasoned ministry leaders and missionaries, Lo, I Am With You Always is more than just a travelogue or inspirational read. It is a deeply spiritual journey that challenges readers to embrace weakness, pursue wholeness, and rediscover the joy of God's presence, wherever life leads.

Highlights:

* Firsthand account of life and ministry in civil war-era Uganda
* Candid reflections on spiritual struggle, marriage, and cultural adaptation
* A moving love story forged through adversity and divine timing
* A call to deeper faith, humility, and dependence on God's presence
