When Chris Beth said yes to a struggling country minister's proposal, life seemed almost too good to be true. Could it last? The settlers in their little Oregon community could scarcely afford a resident preacher's salary, and Chris Beth's teaching contract would soon end. Another separation. More adjustments. Threatening and captivating adventures reveal the heartaches and joys of real pioneer life--wagon caravans of starving people rumbling through frontier territory. Fear of Indian uprisings, drought, plagues of grasshoppers, and the faith and commitment of people shouldering heavy burdens in a common bond of love. Ever present and strengthening their arms to hold each other up is love's silent song.
If you've never heard Kim Wickes' story, you should. Written in 1975, this is the incredible tale of a precious blind Korean girl who overcame huge obstacles to become a world-renowned singer. Gifted with the the voice of an angel, her faith in God and relationship with Jesus has carried her through even unto this day. I had the privilege of meeing Kim in the 1970's as she stayed in our home during one of her concert appearances. I know first hand the diligence with which she dedicated herself to her music and to God. She is truly an overcomer and a gift to the world.
