Heroes of the Faith: Amy Charmichael

Her life was characterized by obedience, total commitment, and selflessness,
and serves as an example to Christians today. Those the world regarded as
less than lovely, Amy Carmichael saw with the eyes of God and gave her life
for them. |

Heroes of the Faith: Corrie Ten Boom
By Barbour Publishing
Sharing
God's love was as natural to her as smiling. She was simply an ordinary
middle-aged Dutch spinster when WWWII broke out. By the time the conflict
ended, she was literally transformed by the faith she had merely accepted
and on a mission from God. Corrie and her family, moved by the plight of
the Jews, built a secret room-a hiding place-into their home in Haarlem,
Holland. Discovered by the Nazis, the ten Booms were sent to notorious concentration
camps. By God's grace, Corrie would survive to become "a tramp for the Lord"
shaing in more than sixty nations the thrilling message that nothing, not
even death, can separate us from God's love. |

Heroes of the Faith: Fanny Crosby
By Barbour Publishing
The
rocky soil of Putnam County, New York, was good for little farming, yet
many Puritan families, buoyed by their Christian faith, eked out an existence
there. Into such a family was Frances "Fanny" Crosby born on March 24, 1820.
Young Fanny's eyes displayed the scars of incompetent medical treatment
that would render her sightless for life. Yet the light that illuminated
this brave girl's soul was destined to electrify generations to come. Though
Fanny Crosby saw nothing with her eyes, she "saw" much with her spirit -
and penned scores of timeless, beloved hymns like "Blessed Assurance," "To
God Be the Glory," "Sweet Hour of Prayer," and "All the Way My Savior Leads
Me." |

Heroes of the Faith: Mary Slessor
By Barbour Publishing
Christian
biography has traditionally been the source for much of the inspiration
and encouragement found in our churches; countless men and women have been
influenced to become missionaries, start organizations, or merely serve
their churches better by reading the lives of the saints before them.
Mary Slessor gives us a life well worth imitating. With unrelenting
faith and classic determination, she helped in opening Africa to trade and
further missionary work. 205 pages, softcover. |

Nothing Daunted: The Story of Isobel Kuhn
By Gloria Repp / Journeyforth
In 1922 Isobel Miller was a senior at the University of British Columbia-beautiful,
talented, popular-and was so miserable that she wanted to die. In her despair
she began a search that was to last a lifetime: the search to know God.
Her investigation led to the Bible and to Jesus Christ, and one day God
gave her the desire to share what she had leanred with the Lisu Tribe of
southwest China. Ten years passed before Isobel and her husband were finally
sent to the Lisu's mountain wilderness. She grew to love the people dearly,
and in her adventurous life she experienced the challenges of pioneer living,
the perils of war and the joys of proving the faithfulness of God. |

Susannah Spurgeon: Free Grace and Dying Love
By Susannah Spurgeon & Charles Ray / Banner Of Truth
Susannah Spurgeon was the wife of the nineteenth-century Baptist preacher
C.H. Spurgeon. While much is known of her famous husband, comparatively
little is known about the woman whom he adored and affectionately called,
"Wifey." Brought together in a single volume for the first time are two
titles that will help to address that imbalance. Mrs. Spurgeon's A Carillon
of Bells consists of twenty-four daily meditations on selected texts
of Scripture. The warm spiritual devotion to her Savior that burned in the
heart of this godly woman shines through on every page. The Life of Mrs.
C.H. Spurgeon by Charles Ray is an affectionate love story but one that
also records the fascinating work of Mrs. Spurgeon's Book Fund. Through
this agency thousands of pastors and preachers received gifts of good books
that proved useful to them in their ministries. It is also a story of the
all-sufficient grace of God---in the midst of debilitating chronic illness
Susannah Spurgeon was enabled to do a truly great work for the Lord, and
her inspiring example continues to bear fruit to this day in the work of
the Banner of Truth Book Fund. |
