Foreign Devil Girl in Hong Kong
Author: Ruth Epp
Publisher: Inspiring Voices
ISBN: 1462403077
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Early in 1959, Ruth left her home on the South Dakota prairies and traveled by cargo ship to Hong Kong, on the south coast of China. She was answering a call from God. The ships officers smiled in amusement and asked, What do you think a twenty-two-year-old girl like you can do in Hong Kong? She thought she knewuntil she found herself a foreign devil girl surrounded by poor working class people, whose language, culture, and life experiences were totally foreign to her. God was her only confidante and friend as she struggled to learn how to fulfill her mission. Cantonese is one of the most difficult Chinese dialects to learn, and her teacher didnt know a word of English. Her attempts to speak sometimes provoked outbursts of hilarious laughter. Such experiences showed her some surprising things about herself and increased her determination to learn to speak Cantonese perfectly. Unexpectedly challenging questions were raised about the God she introduced, and she was hard pressed to find convincing answers. But God blessed her efforts to bring people to him, and helped her as she took time to re-evaluate her own faith. The author tells her story honestly, just as she did long ago in her journal when she recorded the lessons she learned through the successes and failures, joys and sorrows of her first four and a half years in Hong Kong. Her writing gives us an inspiring view of a real God at work in the life of a real person.

Pages : 310
Book Description
These are the stories of thirty ordinary men and women from the cities and rural towns of America. They met, fell in love, married, and started families - the American Dream. Then they experienced the call of an extraordinary God and followed where He led, to a far-away, undeveloped country filled with breath-taking beauty, exotic smells, strange sights and a charming, inspiring people - Formosa - Beautiful Island - Taiwan. The experiences chronicled in this book occurred during war and peace, victory and defeat, disappointment and excitement, as these couples sought to live out their obedient response to God's call in a strange land. These are stories of fear and calmness, of loss and gain, of failure and success, of hurt and blessings, of faith and doubt. These are stories of tears and of laughter, watching their children grow up, and growing old together, and how they learned to depend on the faithfulness of their extraordinary God. Faye Pearson was appointed as a missionary to Taiwan in 1968. She served as a campus minister, taught in theological education, and worked in established churches as well as new church starts. She has also served as a counselor and administrator for Baptist work in East Asia.

Book Description
Gentleman thief Raffles is daring, debonair, devilishly handsome-and a first-rate cricketer.

Encouraged by his brother-in-law, Arthur Conan Doyle, to write a series about a public school villain, and influenced by his own experiences at Uppingham, E. W. Hornung created a unique form of crime story, where, in stealing as in sport, it is playing the game that counts, and there is always honor among thieves. The Complete Story - All four books in one volume.
