Endorsements
“Pursuing the Call provides advice that is clear, concise, and can be practically implemented. Danny provides uniques insights and practical advice gleaned from challenges that are still fresh. A must-read for anyone seriously considering serving overseas."
Michael Peterson
Co-Founder/Director, MissionSake
“If you sense God has called you to take the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to another culture, I highly recommend you purchase and read Danny Lamastra’s Pursuing the Call. He draws from his experience as a missionary to El Salvador to provide easy to understand and essential to follow principles to get to the mission field, overcome common challenges, and stay healthy for a lifetime of effective service.”
Alan Ehler
Dean, Southeastern University’s Barnett College of Ministry and Theology
“Unfair! That's what I felt after reading Danny's book. It was unfair that I did not have such a book when my wife and I embarked on our missionary journey. We would have avoided many mistakes, been much more prepared, or learned things much quicker. This book will be a blessing to countless numbers, and help smooth their transition to wherever the Lord may be leading them."
Dave Flynn
Latin America Team Leader, Center for Mission Mobilization
Having been a missionary in Kolkata since 1954, facing countless challenges including the sudden death of my husband Mark Buntain in 1989, I know missionary Daniel Lamastra’s book Pursuing the Call will be a wonderful guide for new missionaries going to foreign countries.
Huldah Buntain
Co-Founder, Assemblies of God Mission

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Atlanta, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
