Isobel Kuhn wasn't always a missionary - she wasn't always a
Christian. Her teachers discouraged a belief in God and promoted
evolution. Isobel sometimes doubted whether there was anybody there
at all to hear her prayers. "They don't go beyond the ceiling you
know," she once said to her father who was desperately praying for
his young daughter. Isobel even considered suicide once but the
thought of her parents' heartache stopped her. Discover what
brought this questioning, antagonistic teenager from doubts to
faith in Christ. Find out how she affected the lives of countless
people on the mission field of China and Thailand. This stirring
and challenging story of faith is a role model to young people
everywhere.

countryside and to run about with her spaniel. The mountains of

She became a hymn writer and singer, longing to share the love of

beginning as bedtime stories for her nephews and nieces.

Norman John Gillies was one of the last children ever born on St
Kilda, five years before the whole population was evacuated forever
to the British mainland. People had lived on these islands for over
four thousand years, developing a thriving, tightly-knit society
that knew nothing of crime or money, and took care of its weakest
members without hesitation. At the mercy of the seasons and the
elements, a unique lifestyle evolved, based around resilience,
mutual trust and caring. What was it like to grow up in such harsh
conditions? Why and how did this ancient way of life suddenly cease
in 1930? Where did the islanders go, and what became of them? And
what became of Norman John, child of St Kilda? Shortlisted for The
CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal 2020.
Mary Slessor grew up in the slums of Dundee in the 1800's. Industry
was booming but housing was sub- standard and life expectancy was
low. Illness, disease and malnutrition killed many children before
they reached the age of five. Mary was lucky - born into a poor
family, abused by her father - she was still alive. Dundee was
Mary's training ground for a far fiercer battle. Mary left the
shores of Scotland while only in her early twenties to immerse
herself in reaching the lost tribes of Calibar in West Africa. Her
preparation in the slums of Dundee was the key ingredient to her
success on the mission field - that and her tireless trust and
belief in her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He was the reason she
was there. Calibar today still remembers Mary Slessor,
affectionately known as "Ma," her influence on that area of Africa
was astounding. Superstition demanded that families kill twin
babies and murder slaves and women at funerals - the Lord Jesus
Christ that Mary Slessor brought to these people set them free from
all that. They were set free from the law of sin and death.
