Hudson survived his perilous maiden voyage to his beloved China. With his heart set in determined obedience to God, and trusting the provision of the One who had called him, Hudson overcame persecution and almost overwhelming personal losses to bring God's truth to the "ripe harvest fields" of China. Today, Hudson Taylor's story continues to challenge and inspire believers young and old to carry the anchoring gospel message, regardless of personal trials or hardships, to those who are adrift and without hope (1832-1905). Paperback, 208 pages.
With scarcely enough food for money for his own family, George Müller opened his heart and home. Sustained by God's provision, the Müller house became known as the "Breakfast Club" for thirty orphans, and grew to five large houses that ultimately gave homes to over ten thousand children. George Müller trusted God with a depth rarely seen. His faith and generosity set a standard for Christians of all generations (1805-1898). Paperback, 208 pages.
Lillian Trasher: The Greatest Wonder in Egypt
When Lillian Trasher founded Egypt's first orphanage, other thought that a lone American woman with no means of support would surely be killed or starve to death. But Lillian - certain of God's guidance - stood by her earlier promise to Him, "If ever I can do anything for You, just let me know - and I'll do it." (1887-1961). Paperback, 192 pages.
Ida Scudder: Healing Bodies, Touching Hearts
Ida Scudder was sure she would never follow in the footsteps of her medical missionary father. But when she witnessed Indian women dying because their religious beliefs didn't allow male doctors to treat them, Ida heard herself pray, "God, if You want me to, I will spend the rest of my life in India trying to help these women."
Serving for nearly sixty years, Dr. Ida Scudder lived out the truth and compassion found in Christ. She pioneered a first-rate medical school and hospital, brought life-saving health care to rural people, and left an inspiring legacy that still touches millions of people each year with healing and hope (1870-1960). Paperback, 192 pages.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer: In the Midst of Wickedness
Born into a loving family, Dietrich Bonhoeffer pursued a life as a pastor, teacher, theologian - and spy. He spoke out about the trouble in Germany when Adolph Hitler came to power, urging the Christian church to rescue disparaged peoples and resist Hitler’s evil empire. Accused of being a troublemaker, Dietrich persevered fearlessly in the midst of wickedness. His work as a spy in the German resistance and participation in a plot to assassinate Hitler led to imprisonment and eventual execution. But the lesson of his life story remains: “Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act” (1906-1945). Paperback, 208 pages.
