From the pages of this book emerges a story of courage, of lives well spent, of self-sacrificing men who lived only for service to their God and to their neighbor. Here is evidence of hundreds of thousands of persons grasping and devouring knowledge, persons who are being rewarded with peace of mind and security of heart. These see and face the issue squarely: “Will you continue to support and bear up a system of things that has filled the earth with suffering, sorrow, sin and death? Or will you choose, and fit yourself for God’s love-filled new world?” Here is a story of faith tried and purified in the crucible, yet it is a joyful account filled with radiant optimism. Speaking of the h ...

One thing I have wanted to do for many years is to put together a book featuring my mother Florence's stories. I want her spirit to live on through her folktales. Her stories are magical. My mother's legends have stayed with me all my life. I'm sure my brothers and sister heard the same yarns, but this book is written the way I remember them. I believe mom gave me her imaginative stories so I could write about them when I grew up. I wouldn't have written this book if I had not gone to college. I was in my forties and going to the University of Colorado at Denver when I discovered I had a talent for writing. One course I took in Women’s Studies was autobiographical writing. I began ...

This is the compelling true story of the author's parents, who lived as missionaries among Stone Age Spinifex aborigines in the Australian outback for almost two decades. Exciting adventures - vast cultural differences - living day to day under challenging conditions - became the undreamed-of reality for Bob and Ethel Stewart, an average American couple. In 2003, an Australian government official toured outback aboriginal communities. He was stunned to discover that, more than 35 years later, the aborigines of Western Australia not only remembered them, but still highly revered their Tjamu and Lyunku.

Receiving a call to the ministry at a very young age, Charles (Chuck) Higgins was driven to obey that word. He began his first pastorate in 1951, and for over 50 years faithfully ministered as senior pastor in six Nazarene churches and as an interim pastor in another five. He and his wife Marge also traveled all over the world as evangelists, preaching and touching the lives of thousands of people with their gift of music.

You will find this story ...

At the home of great aunt, Helen Kendall Cooke, a portrait hangs on a bedroom wall. It is large and has a presence that fills the room. My aunt laughed when she introduced me to the portrait telling me that she would hang a towel over it when her grandchild stayed in the house because he was frightened by it. “This, she said, is your great, great, great grandfather, Stephen Davies.” I should admit that I did have a moment when I sympathized with her grandson. There is no unkindness in the portrait’s face; it must be the seriousness of purpose in his eyes. There was a story in that face, of that I was certain, a story that gave it reason to hang in a home after more than ...
