...She was a picture of pure joy. When she wasn't kicking her brother's soccer ball around she was twirling. As I watched, I was struck by the twirling; it was the perfect illustration of not having a worry or care in the world. I looked further and saw her father sitting in his car watching her, and I understood then what was going on: she could enjoy herself because her father was there. If anyone came around who could possibly hurt her, her father would be there to protect her. His presence allowed her to be a carefree little girl. I sat watching her, and I felt God say, "Jodi, that's how it is with you and me. That's how I look at you, and that's how I want you to look at me." He wanted me to feel safe and carefree because I knew that He was there, watching my every move, never leaving my side...

In 1983, Jodi and her husband, David started Steiger International, a ministry dedicated to bringing the truth about God to secular young people all over the world. Since that time, she has worked along side David to reach into some of the most revolutionary and often dangerous communities in the world for Jesus. Punks, goths, militants and mercenaries she has ministered to them all, while raising two sons on the edge of Amsterdam's notorious Red Light District.

In this book, Jodi shares the struggles and victories of her spiritual journey and how she was able to live the life God called her to. The book reveals the lessons God has taught her along the way and explains what it means to accept the extraordinary life God offers us all.

Jodi is the co-founder of Steiger. In addition to her international leadership responsibilities, Jodi leads the Steiger Missions School in Krögis, Germany - a school that provides students from all over the world with the strong spiritual and practical foundations necessary for a lifetime of missionary service.

Jodi, along with her husband David, raised two children on the edge of the red-light district in Amsterdam. In her book "Something Broken, Something Extraordinary", Jodi talks about her decision to leave the familiarity of home and follow God and about the extraordinary life to which that led. Although her life was not without difficulty, Jodi describes her journey with God as the richest life imaginable.
