Isobel Kuhn: Lights in Lisuland (Irene Howat)
$8.99
There is no nation by the name of Lisuland, but the Lisu are a people group of over one million, who live mostly in China, Burma, and Thailand. When young Isobel Kuhn first went there in 1928, very few of the Lisu people knew anything at all about Jesus Christ.
Today, the Lisu have some of highest numbers of true Christians of any people-group on the globe! The story of Isobel Kuhn is one of history’s greatest incidents of God using a single young woman, despite all her self-doubts, as she relied upon Him to use her to share the love of Christ.

Commendation:
“This book tells of the power of prayer in their lives and of the many sacrifices of creature comforts they endured joyfully and without complaint. It details fascinating descriptions of ship travel to and from China and the Philippines. It could be read profitably by an adult, a student, or read aloud to an entire family. School-aged children would find it an appropriate selection for a book report, too.” — Reformation and Revival magazine

Joni Eareckson Tada: Swimming Against the Tide
$8.99Joni Eareckson is now a well-known Christian speaker and author. But once, she was only a teenage girl, who loved the ocean — and who, in the plans of God, was about to suffer a life-changing tragedy. Her whole world was turned upside down one morning when an ordinary dive into the water resulted in a paralyzing injury!
From that day onward, Joni’s story has been hailed as a wonderful testimony to God’s grace and power in a young woman’s life, as she learns contentment with the providence of God, and to happily serve Him in whatever condition she is in. The miracle of healing was prayed for, but that didn’t happen, and now Joni’s ongoing work with thousands of disabled people all over the world has become the greater miracle God intended, in using His frail servant, who learned that “My strength is perfected in weakness.” (2 Cor 12:9)

John Newton: A Slave Set Free
$8.99A youth biography in the Trailblazers series of John Newton, the famous slave-trader turned minister and hymn-writer!
John stood and watched, as some of the largest waves he had ever seen threw themselves at the ship. Very little stood between the young slave ship captain and death – and he knew it! His panic and fear made him think only of himself and nothing for the hundreds of men, women and children chained in the hold below.
However, God still heard John Newton’s prayers and the cries of the tortured humanity pleading for mercy and justice. The very man selling them into slavery would soon fight for their freedom. John Newton was one of the worst abusers of the African slave, as he traveled the oceans to make money from their misery – but in the end, his life was changed and so were theirs.
