The climate became damaged beyond repair, and not everyone wanted to live in it. Like everything else, the altered meteorologic conditions, known as the Shift, created a society of protected enclaves, and sociopaths surviving out in the charred remains of western North America. The temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest were dying, and scientists rushed to grow trees that could survive in this new semi-arid environment. They scavenged the western forests for the hardiest seeds and grew them in a massive nursery complex. During that time, something amazing happened, the trees began to send signals to humans, and scientists rushed to decipher them. Were they omens? A great evolutionary leap forward? No one was quite certain. Extinction loomed. Perhaps the arbors recognized that Homo sapiens were not only their nemesis, but their last hope. Millions of years of evolutionary history gave way and the trees revealed their secrets. The magnitude of this communication changed everything. The anti-science armies would have none of it; they moved across the West like a locust swarm, convinced of their divine mission. They destroyed the last vestiges of learning including the research institutes and the universities. The Shift created societal upheaval, and inflicted deep scars on the landscape, but there was a flicker of hope...the trees.

This little book tells a highly unusual story. Taking place, as it does, in an early 1900's rural Hindu village, and with Amy Carmichael's artful telling, it seems like some kind of tragic fairytale. In fact, at one point the author asks the reader, "Does it read like a story made up, or at least touched up a little?" But it is not a story made up. Carmichael says, "Of all the stories we have touched since we came to India, hardly one has humbled us so much, as we thought of our faithless fears for the little Mimosa. But hardly one has lifted us so high in adoration, and in wonder, and in awe."How could a little girl who only spent one afternoon in the company of real Christians, gain enough light, or glean enough crumbs from under the Master's table, to sustain a profound and effectual faith through her many years of suffering? How could she learn about her loving Father in heaven, whom she asked to gather her and her children under the safety of His wings-like a hen gathers her chicks-without ever hearing or reading (she was illiterate) Luke 13:34? How did she find the conviction and the strength to resist the sometimes violent pressure to participate in the all-pervasive idol-worship of her community? How indeed, except that her loving Father taught her and sustained her. This story poses challenging questions about the very nature of living by faith.Missionary and prolific author Amy Carmichael worked in South India for the first half of the twentieth century. In addition to evangelism, she ran an orphanage and school, and is most well-known for rescuing children from temple prostitution. Dohnavur Fellowship, as it came to be known, was the refuge for more than one thousand children, and school to many more, including Mimosa's older sister and brother, and eventually her own sons and herself; making Mimosa's story a fairytale in the truest sense, in that she lived happily ever after.
In a time of profound personal crisis, in which his lifetime of intense spiritual devotion still offered no peace, Sundar Singh was defeated and determined to kill himself if he could not find the True God. Half an hour before the appointed time with the deadly train track, he had a vision of Jesus Christ, the one who saves. This encounter forever changed Sundar Singh and set him on the path of being a Christian Sadhu, or holy man, who-with "neither purse, nor scrip"-walked barefoot from village to village and over mountain passes to Tibet, preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ. In the ultimate expression of cultural adaptation, Sundar Singh's lifestyle as a Sadhu brought the Gospel of Jesus directly to the Indian people, without all the distracting and harmful Western trappings. Archbishop Söderblom wrote, "Here is an Indian soul, who has remained as genuinely Indian as possible, in the best meaning of the word, while becoming absorbed in the love of Christ and completely accepting the Gospel. It would not be easy to find anyone... who has more thoroughly assimilated the Gospel to himself than Sundar Singh. What is typical about him is not a fusion of Christianity and Hinduism, but a fresh presentation of Biblical Christianity that is in many ways stimulating and illuminating for ourselves."Sadhu Sundar Singh's life of simple faith in-and total devotion to-his Master impacted millions, not only in India, but all over the world. In addition to his annual treks over the mountains on the Hindustan-Tibet Road, he had the opportunity to preach to huge audiences in Europe, America, and Asia. Although he did not have kind words for the materialistic lifestyles of Western Christians, he was able to point people to Jesus, away from their idols, toward lives of total devotion; thereby strengthening their faith.Author Charles Freer Andrews was many things, Anglican priest, missionary, educator, social reformer, and activist. He was one of Mahatma Gandhi's closest friends, having the intimacy to use Gandhi's first name, Mohan. In turn, Gandhi nicknamed C. F. Andrews Christ's Faithful Apostle, based on his initials. Another of C. F. Andrews' intimate friends was Sadhu Sundar Singh, and it is from that friendship that this intimate memoir has been written. From the last chapter, "The constant remembrance of [Sundar Singh], during all these intervening years, has brought me nearer to Christ. When I was with him in the Himalayas and at Delhi, as this memoir will show, he strengthened my own faith and helped me to keep the pure flame of Christ's love burning bright. Therefore, it has been my one great longing that the reading of this book may be the means of passing on to others that same devotion to Christ."
Jonathan and Rosalind Goforth were a Presbyterian missionaries in China from 1888 to 1935. In the early 1900's, Mr. Goforth became a student of revivals, both contemporary and historical, and for the rest of his missionary career he worked as an evangelist and revivalist. This book is the astonishing record of the Holy Spirit's work in meeting after meeting, and contains dozens of stories testifying to the reality of God and the truth of His Word.From the introduction, "But though we speak of the manifestations at Pentecost as being abnormal, yet we maintain that Pentecost was normal Christianity. The results, when the Holy Spirit assumed control in Christ's stead, were according to Divine plan... The purpose of the Holy Spirit was to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ every day from the crowning to the coming. It is unthinkable that He should grow weary in well-doing... Normal Christianity, as planned by our Lord, was not supposed to begin in the Spirit and continue in the flesh. In the building of His temple it never was by might nor by power, but always by His Spirit."First published in 1929, this Christian classic has been refreshed in order to be presented to a new audience.

Answered or unanswered?This is the challenge posed to the reader by the eighteen stories of prayer in this little book. Louisa Vaughan was a Presbyterian missionary in China who lived in the present reality of God, and wrote this beautiful and engaging collection of stories testifying to that reality. Two subjects of faith recur in almost every story; that the believer can ask anything in the name of Jesus based on His promise in John 14:13-14, and that via prayer and repentance, genuine revival comes through a visitation of the Holy Spirit.From the author's preface, "The aim of this little volume is to set forth as simply, and as concisely as possible, the incidents connected with my life and service for the Lord Jesus during my residence in China from October, 1896, to January, 1912. These stories as written were the result of the vision which the Lord Himself gave me concerning my witness-bearing amongst the Chinese people. And this testimony was to be one of Faith..."Originally published in 1920, this Christian classic has been refreshed in order to be presented to a new audience.

Hospitality is a hallmark of South Asia that I have enthusiastically embraced wherever life has taken me. The world of diplomacy revolves around forging connections, and I encouraged my husband to invite people home. Sometimes the dinner table was a more relaxed place to resolve issues that were challenging to navigate in the hallowed halls of the United Nations.Home entertaining is not for everyone. People with fully staffed establishments have conniptions over an extra couple joining them for a meal. Others I know will gladly host ten in a studio apartment and be having fun the whole time. I was always so engrossed in hosting that I never really stopped to think what I was doing until Covid-19 suddenly disrupted life, as we knew it. Discovering the trail of that experience compelled me to honor, through food and remembrances, the people who have come through my life. In this work, experiences, dishes, and people mingle in an assemblage that I hope captures the fusion of our life.Most of the recipes here are staples that saw me through the busiest times, made in bulk for a formal gathering, and then stored, ready to be defrosted for undergrads arriving off the Chinatown bus. South Asian cuisine caters to households bursting at the seams. But beyond the recipes, I also hope to impart an outlook on connections and entertaining at home.

This is a lovely love story filled with ardor and longing. This is a wonderful statement on how wholesome living and selfless service increase love. David Langston, the man, is a guy of strength, honesty, and straightforwardness, not to be put above tenderness, gentleness, and kindness. Move over, Mr. Darcy. The Harvester who appears in the story takes the candlestick and the knife box, opens the door, and then goes back to the stoop. With begging in his eyes, Belshazzar stood up and took a few steps forward slowly. The man ignored it completely as he knelt over his work. A nighttime love song could be heard coming from across Loon Lake. When he was a young boy, he had retreated from such messages until his mother told him that a small brown owl had written them. Belshazzar mustered the fortitude to take five steps forward after hearing the Harvester chuckle before he fell back to the ground. A line of golden light that ran parallel to the water from the opposing bank to the gravel bed below was cast by the moonlight as it struck the lake's gently rippling waves. Behind her was a shimmering mist, and as she drew closer he could see she was even more beautiful than he had imagined.
