About the Book

This exuberant coming-of-age story charts one millennial’s decades-long globetrotting adventure in pursuit of personal meaning, significance, and belonging. Along the way, he reckons with the ingrained modern tendency to idolize self-seeking pursuits and discard the more humble, courageous journey of learning to love. WanderLOST melds memoir, theology, and social theory to guide readers toward a renewed vision for where the Church in America must find its place at this moment in history. Sims asks readers to be aware of and concerned about global injustice and invites them to think more deeply about how to be a part of God’s vision for reconciliation.

About the Author :
J. Daniel Sims serves as the Country Director for International Justice Mission (IJM) in Cambodia where he leads a team of investigators, lawyers, social workers, programmatic, and operational staff in the fight against labor exploitation. Concurrently with his role at IJM, he serves as a Non-Resident Fellow at Duke University’s Center for Reconciliation, a leading institute bridging the worlds of research and practice in the global peace-building and justice space. He lives in Williamsburg, VA.

Review :
In WanderLOST, Sims tells a globe-spanning story of a young man's search for a life that counts for something. It's his own story, recounted with an appealing vulnerability and straightforwardness, and it takes us to places as varied as the Middle East, West and East Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the United States. Through telling a wide range of experiences, this story forces the reader to grapple with fundamental human questions: What is freedom, and what is justice? What gives purpose to life? And what does it mean to surrender to this purpose? For anyone like Sims who, through his international work for human rights and development, has been immersed in the realities of how much of humanity lives, these questions are anything but theoretical. Nor should they be for the rest of us in a deeply interconnected world.--Peter Mommsen, Editor-in-Chief, Plough Quarterly J. Daniel Sims is the kind of storyteller thinking travelers want to hear from. In WanderLOST, he offers the kind of deeply insightful and timely message which can only be born out of an adventurous life. Yet, he is also suitably vulnerable - flawed, self-aware, funny, torn by true love - you know, just the guy to make the hours fly by in any bug-eaten corner of the world. What's more, he offers a convicting account of how easily us Western travelers can despoil the places and cultures we come home raving about. Through his immersive storytelling and trenchant observations, Sims will keep you turning pages all night under your mosquito net. WanderLOST broke my heart and shone a ray of hope. I highly recommend it.--David Kopp, Founding Editor, Convergent Books, Penguin Random House The Scripture says that we work out our salvation with fear and trembling. It's not about a moment... it's about a movement of the Spirit in us. WanderLOST is a beautiful story, a tremendous-global-adventure kind of story, of one man's salvation being worked out with fear and trembling. Sims asks all the right questions. He gently invites you to ask them with him. He travels the world and brings you along. He offers the hope he has found with a humility that invites you to ponder with him where you have found hope. This is one wanderer sharing with the rest of us where he found home. One hungry traveler telling us where we can find food. One young man in the wilderness telling us where there is a source of good water.--Shane Claiborne, activist, author, co-founder - Red Letter Christians WanderLOST is a story about one man's outer adventures and inner journey, but it is also a story which gets at the very core of what it means to be human. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn stated, "The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man." As a key component of this battle, Sims boldly confronts our modern understanding of what it really means to be free. In doing so, he asks us to question those things in our lives which keep us from reaching for that deeper freedom which can only emerge from a right relationship with our Creator. [This] is a story which asks us to recognize our own finiteness and insufficiency to do anything beyond radically loving those "others" placed in our midst. This is the best kind of story, not just because it is interesting and relatable, but because it is true.--David Eubank, founder/CEO - Free Burma Rangers WanderLOST ushers the reader into an authentic adventure - gently asking questions along the way while pointing us toward hope and sustenance for the journey. Through the years, Sims has proven himself to be a strategic thinker, committed to relationships...innovative and ever-willing to grow himself as a leader and follower of Christ. These qualities are evident throughout WanderLOST. I appreciate all that was poured into this story and trust there will be many who benefit from both his candor and humility.--Gary Haugen, founder/CEO, International Justice Mission
