"A riveting real-life story of God's rescue from darkness and despair to a life of freedom and promise... You will not be able to put this book down."-Major Everett Barrow, Officer/Pastor, Salvation Army"A beautiful narration of her journey from Muslim orthodoxy to acceptance of Jesus... fascinating reading."-Dr. James A. Beverley, Research Professor, Tyndale UniversityRose Masih grew up having no assurance of eternal life, and no hope of seeing God face to face. She thought she was cursed. She hated that she had been born a woman, especially a Muslim woman, and was lost in the endless chores and duties she had to complete to earn her place in heaven, however difficult that would be.On the outside, she was a pious, legalistic, and devout Muslim, but inside she yearned to find her place on this earth and in heaven.She didn't know how or if she would ever be free from this curse until she met Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible. The more she learned about Him, the freer she felt. Even though her journey has been long, hard, and painful, she determined to never let go-because it is in His cross that she found freedom from her curse.

But their work is fraught with frightening encounters with RCMP patrol boats, the Coast Guard, and rival criminals.

Then there's Constable Asher Hayes, suspicious of the women and tracking them closely.When disaster strikes, the women must face an even deadlier foe-and fight desperately to make it out alive.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a heartfelt desire to give "my all" to God. This desire assisted me in coming to a more profound realization that within me is both a sinner and a saint in the making. I discovered that the nourishment for prayer is often my stance of need. The poems within this book give a poetic expression of these prayer experiences through which I hope to connect with people with similar experiences or aspirations. The beauty of poetry is that it is open to interpretation. Behind my poetry is the image of my holding a dandelion and God saying to me, "This is our meeting ground." Dandelions symbolize my life and what God called forth from me. It was also then that I truly fell in love with dandelions. Wouldn't you?

Mable looked at her closely. "Where were you born, if not Canada? Your English is perfect."Heat rose in Mary's cheeks. "I was born in Chengtu, Szechwan, China."And so began the sharing of Mary Sibley's life story and her exploration of a foundational question. Was it worth the cost of all the dedication, and even the very lives, of the missionaries, doctors, and nurses who strove to bring the Word to inland China? And after Mary's parents returned to the mission field from furlough in Canada without her, how did she cope as fourteen-year-old left alone in a faraway country? China had at one time been an all-new adventure for her Canadian-born parents, but to Mary, China was all she had ever known. Canada was the strange country.

"I had a wonderful week at my sister's as always...until Friday night. I was sharing a bed with my little nephew and he was saying his prayers: 'If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take'. I felt a stab of foreboding in my spirit..."In this tragic experience, no real support was given in the Old Colony Mennonite village where they lived. Instead, there was blame and shunning. Mari learned more about the "whys" of such treatment; she also found others who had similar experiences. Conversely, she heard of the wise ways of her grandfather, the Bishop, who had died long before this all had happened.As her brother Isaac would say: "How we longed for the gentle and compassionate presence of our Grandfather."

Since I was going to be a preacher, I needed to practice. Only being about eight or nine years old, who was going to listen to me? Not to worry. In the pasture near the barn was an empty hay rack. Perfect! With Bible in hand, I climbed up on the rack. Cows were moving around the barnyard. It was near milking time. The crowds were filling the auditorium. With much shoving and mooing, they prepared to hear the gospel. As I started to preach, everyone in the congregation looked on with fascination. Big, brown eyes stared in amazement. I shouted my text, telling the cows to repent or perish. After a few minutes of loud and lively preaching, I watched several of them slowly walk away. Not one convert! The passionate pursuit had begun.

Each chapter of A Word from His Word focuses on a single word or phrase from a short biblical passage. By returning to a simple but effective approach to Bible reading, your daily time will be invigorated.Philemon and Titus were written by St. Paul about situations that arose in the churches of Colossae and Crete respectively. Although short, considered too brief by some to hold theological weight, they are in fact packed with practical lessons.Philemon concerns the return of a runaway slave who, after his flight for freedom, became a Christian. This personal letter paints a picture of Paul as a compassionate and gracious apostle, speaks of the slave's courage and calls for honour and integrity from his master.Titus, a letter which contains some similar themes, serves as a primer for young Christian leaders. Titus was to draw out from the Cretan church those who had been stamped by the grace of Christ and had the aura of saltiness that comes from His seasoning.Both letters hold salient lessons for us today. We pray that as you read this edition of A Word from His Word, the readings will inspire you according to their original purpose, enriching you with the fullness of Christ's grace.

The Lord created everything in heaven and on earth - and it was beautiful. The situation only went wrong because of the devil. And our lives will go wrong, too, when we yield to him.But with prayer, all things are possible. In this book, believers will come to the knowledge of the power that Christ gave us through the cross. They will also learn how to wield that power in order for them to live victorious, fruitful Christian lives.

Have you ever felt like laughing at God's words of promise? If so, it is most likely an incredulous laughter. Sarah laughed when she was told, "Next year, at a time like this, you will have a son." Abraham also laughed!To these two people, God asked, "Is anything too hard for me?" He still asks the same question today, to remind us that nothing is impossible to Him. It is not that people forget that God is able, but rather that they need to be reminded that He is God Almighty, with the power to perform miracles beyond human understanding.When we think it is too late for us to receive our miracle, when we believe that God has forgotten about us, or when we no longer feel qualified, God still works. Whatever your story, no matter how hard it is, be assured of this: God can do what He has said He will do.
