Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright captures the verve and sparkle of these letters. Paul wrote the letters while in prison facing possible death, but their passion and energy are undimmed. They reveal Paul's longing to see young churches grow in faith and understanding, rooted in Jesus himself, and to see this faith worked out in practice - in one case, through the rehabilitation of a runaway slave. Wright's stimulating comments are combined with his own translation of the Bible text. Perhaps youve heard of a person who knows what God wants of her and pursues it at all costs? That was Eliza George, a missionary to Liberia in the early 1900s. Her work and journey among the tribes and through the jungles of Africa and the physical and financial obstacles she faced make When God Says Go an encouraging story for every reader. Eliza's saga of motivation and her never give up attitude will help you make it through those days when you wonder what really matters.

"In the Palm of God's Hand" was named Biography of the Year for 2002 in awards sponsored by the The Christian Book Promotion Trust. This new edition brings Wendy's story up to date. |
