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 all bearing witness to the way in which God speaks through everyday events to those who have ears to hear.


Bob Stokes' radio ministry began when, as a missionary in Fiji, he was closely involved with the religious broadcasts on the Fiji Broadcasting Commission. Subsequently, in 1959, he was recommended by Billy Graham for follow-up work to the Crusades in Australia and New Zealand, and he conducted evangelistic campaigns and conventions in many countries. He also shared "Keswick" ministry in Rhodesia, South Africa and India.
