A powerful memoir set amidst dangerous situations, where faith, compassion, and courage thrive.

Combining travelogue with testimony, Nathalie MacDermott shares her life's adventure with God, offering a compelling memoir set amidst a host of dangerous situations. This is what happens when compassion and courage are allowed to thrive. From orphanages in former communist states to hard-line Islamic regimes, international humanitarian disasters to corrupt African institutions, Nathalie has come face to face with numerous instances where trusting God is the only option. Told with honesty, and humility, Dare to Trust is an invitation to reconnect with God, to be inspired by His call, to put faith in action, and to renew our commitment to serving Him today.

Nathalie MacDermott is a paediatrician who has worked in the field of disaster relief in Liberia, Haiti, Belarus, Zambia, and many other front-line emergency situations. She is currently completing her PhD on clinical outcomes from the Ebola virus.
