Anyone who has read Patricia St. John's books already knows how her
stories come alive, and this account of her own life is no
exception. Her powers of description make the story leap from the
page and the reader is transported to far off places and times; and
the people and the things she describes can almost be touched,
smelled and seen. Patricia was not just a gifted story-teller,
though; she was also a deeply committed follower of the Lord Jesus
Christ, whose spiritual journey began when she was only six years
old. 'My name is Patricia, ' she prayed, 'and if You are really
calling me I want to come and be Yours. ' Out of that small
beginning there issued a river of life and light and blessing that
went on increasing right up to the end of her life. Although she
always thought of herself as 'an ordinary sort of girl', her life
was extraordinary because of her supreme love for Jesus Christ. The
life portrayed here is not that of the self-conscious saint,
concerned only with her own saintliness. On the contrary these
pages offer us an inside view of someone utterly human, prone to
mistakes and failures like the rest of us, yet suffused with the
love of God and a contagious joy and peace that was like the
bubbling up of a perpetual fountain.

and love are the most important things. Nothing else matters.
Philo, a first-century Phoenician boy, is worried about his family.
Evil hangs over their house like a cloud. And it all seems to come
from his sister, Illyrica, who is possessed by a demon. Hearing
about a prophet from Nazareth who has healed the sick and even
raised the dead, Philo wonders if He can save his sister. But the
mere mention of the prophet's name sends Illyrica into fits of rage
and despair. Even if the prophet really is as powerful as people
say He is, how can Philo and his little sister, Ione, take Illyrica
to Him to be healed? Hopeless, Philo runs away and goes to live
with his uncle in Capernaum, where he hears even more about the
Jewish prophet and His miracles. Who is He? How strong is His
power? Most of all, would the Jewish prophet help Philo, a Gentile?
This gripping story of revenge and forgiveness, sickness and
healing, and evil and grace traces the footsteps of Jesus of
Nazareth-to the places He walked and the people He touched.

Patricia St. John was not a typical girl from her earliest days -
her life was different to say the least! She was almost born in a
storm in Biscay. Her Father decided to change his job - and so the
whole family left for Switzerland. Patricia back in Britain as the
bombs fell on London during the second world war. As a young nurse,
in the middle of mayhem, her heart ached for an answer to the
question 'why?'. She found satisfying answers in her Bible. You
would think, after all that, she would have opted for a little bit
of peace and quiet - but no! She left the security of post-war
London on the back of her brother's motorcycle and headed for the
dusty deserts of the Northern Morocco. Whilst there, she wrote a
series of stories on the main themes in the Apostles' Creed. 'Life
Everlasting' is a collection of these stories. It makes an
excellent devotional book for young and old alike. Good stories and
good teaching - that could sum both Patricia's life and writing.
Patricia's upbringing was difficult. She found rest and peace
through reading her Bible and thus began a love affair with the
focus of that collection of books, Jesus Christ. What the church
believes about Jesus is beautifully summed up in the Apostles
creed. Patricia found that the creed was a great influence in her
conversations with Muslims as a nurse in Northern Africa. Here is
collection of true stories from her time there, illustrating that
the creed is a key to a fulfilled life.
J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on
church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool managing to
establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English
cities. Although a convinced Evangelical he was regarded as
fairminded with those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle's opponents
in church politics wept when he died.His books have remained in
print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person
in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed
how the Bible was relevant.His writings thus lend themselves to a
devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that
have gone before. Here Eric Russell Ryle's biographer has arranged
writings according to themes that develop the reader's
understanding on a topic before moving on to new pastures.It is as
refreshing as it is profound.
The refugee camp is crowded with sick and starving people. Two new
arrivals, a teenage girl, Mehrit, carrying her little brother on
her back, wait their turn patiently. What will happen to them? Will
they ever find their parents again? A strong story of a family in a
famine-stricken African country.
The farm is on fire and there is very little that the farmer or his
family can do. The children watch as the barn is engulfed in
flames. Thankfully the fire engine arrives in time to save the
house and slowly but surely the family tries to get back to normal.
But when the farmer is going over the damage he can't find the
little white hen anywhere. Where could she be? A search through the
burnt buildings soon brings to light the scorched remains of the
little white hen - but there is new life and new hope. The little
white hen has died but she has given her life to save the lives of
her brood of tiny yellow chickens. An ideal picture of what Jesus
Christ has done for us by giving his life for us on the cross.
If you enjoy reading about the lives of great Christians, you'll
love this biography of Harold St. John. Harold's daughter, Patricia
St. John, did the Christian world an enormous favor when she put
together this fascinating portrait of her father. Somehow her
portrayal manages to be exciting, inspiring, challenging, amusing
and edifying all at the same time. It makes compelling reading from
start to finish--hard to put down once you've picked it up. Harold
was one of the most gifted Bible teachers of his day, and the story
of his life and influence is as relevant now as ever. His life was
hid with Christ in God, and out of his inward parts there flowed a
river of joy and peace and blessedness that enriched everyone it
touched.
