Some think of jungles, lions, and snakes, others, of poverty 10, 000 miles away. Still others think of coups d'état, medal-bedecked dictators, and economies on the brink. Come on a journey and see: a young boy in war-time Germany, a guy in his thirties contributing to German/American relations by marrying the commanding general's daughter, an adventurous family's cultural immersion into black Africa, a white man's face-off with AK-47-toting ...

Gems of Grace was the title of a weekly broadcast by Bob Stokes over Trans World Radio, Monte Carlo, Bonaire and Swaziland. His short, pithy, gospel messages, which reached millions of listeners, resulted in an overwhelming demand that they should be issued in a more permanent form. This book contains a selection of the talks. The author drew his themes from incidents in his own experience, sometimes dramatic, sometimes seemingly trivial, but ...

Bob Stoke's first series of Gems of Grace radio talks in print met with such an immediate success that his short, pithy, down-to-earth messages are continued in this new book. The author draws Christ-centred conclusions from everyday events in his own life and ministry which have a compelling appeal to the reader.

Imagine a man walking into a poor rural village containing thousands of people and then promising to take care of their every need, food, clothing, housing, education. And then imagine that he proposed to do this without telling anyone other than God that these needs even existed. This man was George Müller, and that village was the more than ten thousand orphans for whom he cared, over sixty years of his life. In his youth, George Müller wa...

Almost from the moment of his conversion at eighteen years of age, Jonathan Goforth was an evangelist. In addition to tireless itinerant preaching, constant evangelism in slums, and even brothels, one summer during his years at Knox College, he visited nine hundred sixty Toronto families. It was said of Jonathan Goforth that, "When he found his own soul needed Jesus Christ, it became a passion with him to take Jesus Christ to every soul." This...

Hudson Taylor was as a nineteenth century missionary to China and founder of the China Inland Mission. He did these things by faith, trusting only God for all temporal supplies for himself, his family, and more than eight hundred missionaries that joined him in more than fifty years of Gospel labor. While these are impressive numbers, Hudson Taylor was first and foremost a child of God, constantly growing in his faith. One of Taylor's greatest...

Dr. Frederick Baedeker, born in Germany in 1823, earned a doctorate in philosophy, became a successful business man and educator, then founded a high-class school in Weston-super-Mare, England, to where he emigrated, married, and settled into a prosperous life. But at age forty-three, Baedeker attended a series of evangelistic meetings about which he said, "I went in a proud German infidel, and came out a humble, believing disciple of the Lord...

Robert Gribble was a simple, uneducated man, who worked with simple, uneducated farmers and laborers in the villages of the bucolic Devonshire countryside. There are parallels between that time and place, and our own. Perhaps surprising to a modern reader, rural Britain in the first part of the nineteenth century was unreached with the Gospel. In spite of the long presence of the established church, most people had never heard the name of Jesu...

Born into humble circumstances in nineteenth century Scotland, Mary Slessor's path seemed determined as she began work as a child laborer in a textile mill. Short of stature, blue-eyed, red-haired, and with a fiery personality to match, Mary was made of tough stuff. Even though she worked twelve hours per day, she faithfully attended night school, even bringing books to work, stealing glances as she could. Her homelife was full of conflict and...

Born in 1836, Edward "Ned" Wright led a life of vice and crime. His days were filled with drinking, smoking, wife-beating, and stealing-even stealing from the dead. It seemed impossible that he could ever reform. But then one night something happened. Out of curiosity, Ned and his wife went into a fancy theater for an "all seats free" program. There they were unexpectedly and powerfully affected by a Gospel presentation during which Ned was ca...
