{"product_id":"forty-days-alone-in-thailand-tom-holmes-9781500622053","title":"Forty Days Alone in Thailand","description":"In 2009, I realized that I had forty days of unscheduled time in Thailand between the seventh mission trip I had helped lead in the \"Land of Smiles\" and an international conference in Pattaya on the Gulf of Thailand. I was at a point in my life where I felt the need to test my two primary relationships: with God and with my self. I grabbed the opportunity to test these two relationships by traveling around Thailand alone-with my limited Thai vocabulary and my neurological disorder--to plunge into the deep end of the cultural pool, if you will, and see if I would sink or swim. Before leaving I joked with my friends and family that my only traveling companions would be my self and God, and I didn't know if I would get along with either one. I wrote Forty Days Alone in Thailand partly as a spiritual travel memoir, but partly as a way of encouraging readers to risk moving out of their cultural comfort zones as a way of meeting themselves again as if for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500622052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500622053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.45d","brand":"Tom Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445230022911,"sku":"9781500622053","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0f54901-0f3e-4c85-ba47-9505024aa17f.jpg?v=1777217359","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forty-days-alone-in-thailand-tom-holmes-9781500622053","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
