And The Word Came With Power

by Joanne Shetler, Patricia Purvis

This is a great example of what God can do with a person who surrenders her life to Him! It gives the 20 year story of how Joanne Shetler gave of herself to move far away and live among the Balangao people group in the Philippines. This tells many of her adventures along the journey. It goes from learning the culture and language, through the trials and hardships of dealing with a culture that succumbs to evil spirits, and onto the completion of God's plan for these wonderful people. "God truly is more powerful that the Spirits!" I read this with my six and eight year old daughters as part of our homeschool curriculum and they really enjoyed it. You and your family will enjoy it as well
