Fred Nelson was born during violent times to missionary parents in
China in 1904. He spent most of his life there and in Taiwan,
serving not only God, but also the United States Marine Corps. Not
long before he died in 1992, he wrote this brief, poignant memoir.
His children-editors have added the 25 rare photos and maps, plus
italicized explanations. Fred's daughter narrates more of the
Nelson family's adventures, both harrowing and wonderful, in her
China and Taiwan novels: Hungry River (2011), Dragon Wall (2012),
and Jade Cross (2014).
Haven't you wondered what happened to the women who were with Jesus
and the Twelve Disciples right before and right after the Last
Supper? Wasn't the meal a family Passover Seder that included women
and children? Sure it was, shares author Millie Nelson Samuelson in
these inspiring memoir-like stories of the men, women and children
of the Last Supper. Cover art by Jan VonBokel affirms this view of
the Last Supper. The three previous editions are now out of print.
What's new in this fourth edition (2012)? Prayer meditations for
each chapter by Rev. Terry Rhine, the children's stories, study
questions for small groups, and dramatization suggestions based on
a decade of performing these vignettes in Millie's church, plus
performance photos.
For many Chinese and Westerners in the twentieth century, the Great
Wall was just part of their daily lives. But for others, like
Alfred and Meggie Newquist and the mysterious Stone Ten Keepers,
the Wall was a powerful dragon-like presence in their lives. Their
intriguing stories are told in Dragon Wall, a novel inspired by the
author's own family. While a stand-alone, this novel is a sequel to
Hungry River, and a prequel to Jade Cross (2013/14).
