It is August 1990. Saddam Hussein has just invaded Kuwait, and Jasira's mother has bought her daughter a one-way ticket to Texas to live with her strict Lebanese father. Living in a neat model home in Charming Gates, just outside of Houston, Jasira struggles with her father's rigid lifestyle and the racism of her classmates, who call her towelhead. For the first time, the painful truth hits her: she's an Arab. Her aching loneliness and growing frustration with her parents' conflicting rules drive her to rebel in very dangerous ways. Most disturbingly, she becomes sexually obsessed with the bigoted army reservist next door, who alternately cares for, excites, and exploits her.Binding Type: Paperback

Thank you for this call to action!
Format: Hardcover
I finally received my copy today and haven't put it down. This book is well written, engaging, and practical. It's a simple read with a powerful message. It's easy to understand no matter where you are in your journey or what your denomination. I didn't realize I was already an upsetter in training!

Inspiration
This book was very inspirational and informative. Tim Ross' writing style was conversational and made the book Ann easy read. It answered questions I had about evangelism and inspired me to want to be Ann Upsetters.

I'm upset! ..and now I'm an upsetter!
What a powerful evangelism tool. Very well written and full of thought-provoking clarity. As I read, it was almost as if the stories were a mirror reading me. This book has inspired me to start a study group with young adults to inspire them to become upsetters as well. I want this message to be contagious! Blessings!!

Officially An Upsetter!
Format: Hardcover
I just finished reading Upset the World, and I’m ready to read it again! This is the book you need that you didn’t know you needed. So much truth, so much revelation, and so much perspective. The book itself is also beautiful and easy to read. Tim Ross’ words, humor, and truth is the perfect mix bringing this message to the world.

Easy reading but with a lot of truth
No guilt or condemnation but very motivating. It makes me realize that we all have gifts that God has given us and that we can all do something important for Him. That just because we aren’t mega church pastors doesn’t mean there is not something for us to do for Him
