A personal testimony of faith in action.

This book is an intense personal testimony of a missionary's daily living in carrying out her Divinely inspired commission. It is unusually balanced in covering her experiences from the standpoint of Spirit, Soul and Body. Most testimonies cover only one or two standpoints, but rarely all three. Helen has a strong sense of God's sovereignty, is never embittered by her circumstances, regardless of how outwardly negative, and remains keenly focused, regardless of the confusion and misunderstanding of others surrounding and interacting with her. She is a faithful minister, steadfastly carrying out her commission even at the risk of her physical life and reputation. There are many touching personal stories, but the one that continues to bring me to tears of joy and inspiration is the one about the eight-year-old orphan girl's simple and direct prayer that was answered three months before it was uttered. It still sends chills down my spine every time I reread it. If you are looking for a strengthening of your faith, practical examples of faith in action and strong emotional involvment, this is the book for you.
