Passport Through Darkness, is a true story, told with great passion by the author.  Kimberly L. Smith was an ordinary American woman, happily married with a successful career.  Most of her children were grown up and had left home, and she was starting to feel as if her life was stuck in a rut.  On her way to work one day she was struck by the realisation that if she died on that day, she would soon be forgotten and nothing she had left behind would be of any value.  She wanted her life to have a meaning and purpose.  This feeling was so strong that it overwhelmed her, she felt that she could no longer go on living the life she was living.  She found herself begging God to show her what her purpose was.  Around this time, her husband was beginning to feel as if their lives had become stale and they should be doing more, trying to make a difference for themselves and others.  In his past he had worked as a missionary in Spain, as if by chance there was now an opening for missionaries to work in Spain.  Her husband suggested that they move there.  At first unsure about the upheaval, eventually the author and her husband and their two teenage children made the move to Spain.  This adventure was the start of the author’s ‘Passport Through Darkness’ , the beginning of her journey to realise the reason she was put on the earth.  It started a chain of events that would eventually lead her to Sudan, alone, where she was to face her worst fears and risk her own life, to save orphans and widows from the atrocities they faced on a daily basis.

Passport Through Darkness is an eye-opening read, a hard-hitting story about life in Sudan and other war-torn countries.  It’s a book that has the power to change the way people see themselves and their lives.

It is an intense book, there are many shocking realities within the pages, but it is a book that begs to be read, and contains the very important message that each one of us has a purpose.  By facing her deepest fears, and risking losing everything she cared about, Kimberly L.Smith was able to fully experience life and come to appreciate the person she was put on the earth to be.
