Not a Chance: Recollections of a Global Ambassador for Christ

Born in a small rural community in the Deep South just three days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and devastated emotionally eleven years later by the death of his father on Christmas Eve morning in 1952, young Doug Carter was convinced that there was "not a chance" his future would be worth living.

In Not a Chance you will walk with Doug down the aisle to the old camp meeting altar where his broken heart was made whole by the touch of the Lord Jesus. You'll journey with him from the cotton fields of south Georgia to the "fields white unto harvest" around the world.

Not a Chance shares the story of high school sweethearts who married in their teens, responded obediently to God's call to Great Commission ministry, and followed Jesus to the ends of the earth. But the book is so much more than their story. It is a collection of the stories of the devout men and women who have invested lovingly in their lives. Most importantly, it is the stories of many of Christ's faithful servants whom Doug and Winnie have met in one hundred twenty-nine nations worldwide. Your heart will be stirred and your faith deepened as you are inspired and challenged by the testimonies of fully devoted Christ-followers who suffer harsh persecution and daily risk their lives as they courageously serve Jesus in dark, difficult, and dangerous places.

Doug's life is proof that there is no limit to what God can do with a life totally surrendered to Him and to His purposes.
