    by Tom Latham (Author), Dave Carlson (Editor)

    Into the Light: Half-Century as Missionaries in Brazil by Dr. Tom Latham is an inspiring autobiography that chronicles the life and ministry of Dr. Latham and his late wife, Penny, as missionaries in Brazil for more than 50 years. ​ It details their journey from humble beginnings, transformative encounters with Christ, and their dedication to spreading the Gospel through church planting, innovative ministries, and personal relationships. Includes more than 100 photographs and illustrations.

    Read about several life struggles faced by Dr. Tom Latham and his family, including:

    1. Difficult Childhood: growing up in a troubled family, marked by poverty, instability, the absence of a father figure, and a mother's struggles with addiction.
    2. Early Life Challenges: dealing with legal troubles, family abandonment, and a lack of direction before finding salvation and purpose through faith in Jesus Christ.
    3. Cultural and Language Barriers: facing the challenge of learning Portuguese and adapting to a new culture, customs, and way of life in Brazil.
    4. Health Issues: encountering tropical health problems, including parasites, head lice, and other illnesses, compounded by severe allergies. ​
    5. Financial Struggles: raising funds to support missionary work was a long and challenging process, taking years of deputation and travel.
    6. Robberies and Crime: surviving numerous robberies, some violent and life-threatening, causing physical harm, financial loss, and emotional distress.
    7. Loss and Grief: enduring the loss of loved ones, including the tragic deaths of a sister and spouse.
    8. Missionary Challenges: facing opposition from other missionaries, cultural differences, and the difficulties of starting and maintaining churches in Brazil.
    9. Personal Failures and Redemption: grappling with struggles with pride, lessons about humility and perseverance through faith. ​

    The book shares heartfelt stories of challenges, triumphs, and the impact of their work on countless individuals. Many struggles highlight the resilience, faith, and determination of the Latham family as they navigated their journey of service and devotion to their mission in Brazil. It is a testament to faith, perseverance, and the power of love and service in making a lasting difference in the world.
