Compelling Reads
Bethan Lycett
Having read all of these titles over the last two years I can say that this pack is definitely worth getting, and if you have any of them already, then they would make a perfect present for a friend. Three are missionary biographies: The classic story of Gladys Aylward, the incredible story of Maud Kells 50+ years in the Congo, and the modern story of the Parker family serving with MAF in East Africa. All demonstrate God’s gracious care for is children as they seek to share Jesus to the nations. The final book of the pack, There Came a Day, is a tremendously difficult book to read. Describing the heartache of losing a child, but in horrific circumstances, at the hands of a serial killer who evaded arrest for over a decade, and was only brought to earthly justice 30 years after the death of Jennifer Cardy. This book, 40 years after the abduction, demonstrates how God was at work, and is still at work, bringing people to salvation through this tragic event, including Jennifers own father Andy. I’d recommend all of these titles.
