About the Book

You want me to pack up, leave everything I know, and go where? Sometimes God asks us to leave the familiar and venture out into the vast unknown, but are we willing? For Pam, the line had been drawn in the sand, quite literally. Through humorous and hope-filled anecdotes, Pam recounts her journey from a normal, laundry-driven wife and mother living in her understood Missouri hometown to an unknown, sand-infused teacher trainer living along the Nile among an often-feared, mysterious people. In "One Plane Ticket From Normal" you'll discover: - Snapshots of daily life for those who want to know what it's like to live in a foreign land. - Stories of friends made along the way that reveal Middle Eastern thought and lifestyle. - Helpful tips for integrating into new cultures, interacting with other-culture persons, and creating safe environments for deep-life conversations. - Discussion questions for small group studies

About the Author :
Pam Morton, her husband, John, and two teenaged daughters packed up their fulfilling, understood Midwestern life and moved to Cairo, Egypt in 2009. Her dream of serving overseas became a shocking reality of daily cultural encounters that often left her wondering if she'd actually landed on Mars instead! From Cairo to Khartoum to Upper Egypt, Pam continues to learn, live and thrive in a sandy, sweaty, hospitable land. An author, speaker and self-proclaimed "professional luncher," Pam wants to share laughter, life and hope with her dear Arab neighbors and also provide insight into Middle Eastern customs and everyday life with her friends in the West.

Review :
"One Plane Ticket From Normal" is an incredible read! Pam's humor and gifted story-telling will keep you turning the pages and wishing the book was longer. She shares such great insights for engaging people from other cultures, that you will find yourself longing for experiences of your own. Her love for the people of the Middle East stirs something deep in my heart-a desire to love big and sacrificially. Kerry Clarensau In a world where there are far too many barriers and never enough bridges, Pam Morton's words span daunting cultural chasms with compassion, understanding, humor, and hope. Through her book, "One Plane Ticket From Normal," a thoroughly engaging read, I laughed, cried, and pondered my way to a new perspective of what it's like to totally uproot from normal life and move to an "other" culture where you are actually the "other." I appreciated Morton's candid glimpse into the delights and difficulties of learning a new language, deciphering unfamiliar customs, and connecting with those who we in the West often view with suspicion. Her short bursts of wisdom at the end of each chapter in a section called Culture Cue offer invaluable insights for those who travel internationally (I'm taking notes) or for anyone who wants to befriend "other culture" folks in their own community (yep, I'm taking notes again). There is much to love about this informative, yet heartwarming book. But what I love most about One Plane Ticket From Normal is the poignant reminder that people are people are people, the world over. And those other-culture people, so precious to God, can become precious to us...especially if we're willing to take a step or two away from "normal." After reading this book, I'm in. Dr. Jodi Detrick This book is a passport to a totally different perspective on what it means to follow Christ. With warmth and humor, Pam shares her family's transition from middle America to life in the Middle East. "One Plane Ticket From Normal" will make you laugh and inspire you to take a faith journey of your own. John & Debbie Lindell
