Description
Although diminutive in stature and unable to become a "certified" missionary, Gladys obediently followed God's call to become a missionary to the Chinese. Her determination, courage, and faith are a vivid example of a life pleasing to God.
Publisher's Description of These Are My People
These Are My People is a biography by Mildred T. Howard on the life of Christian missionary Gladys Aylward. This biography for young readers begins when Gladys Aylward leaves London and arrives in China. At first, none of the Chinese will listen to her stories of God’s love, but when Gladys calms a prison riot, the people call her "the Virtuous One." Gladys then began taking in orphan children, saving them from a life of hunger and sickness in the streets. When war between China and Japan broke out, Gladys trusted God to help her take her many, many orphans through the mountains to safety.
Category Description for Bob Jones Journeyforth Books
We personally own a lot of these books. Many of them are among our children's all-time favorites. That's saying a lot, since my children are voracious readers. There's such variety in this line - they run the gamut from biography to fantasy, but consistently enrich. It is indisputable that every book you read becomes a little part of you. Knowing this, we want to be careful not to fill our children's heads and hearts with objectionable, disturbing or useless material. Many of our customers are Christian homeschoolers, as we are. Even among this group, parents differ in the degree of restriction or criteria they apply in selecting materials they consider appropriate for their children, depending upon their particular convictions in this area. However, we feel confident that even the most convicted parent would have no qualms about this thoroughly Christian series. While books in the Light Line have a "strong Christian message," they are not "preachy." Rather, they skillfully entertain while presenting that message, with vivid characters and strong, exciting story lines. The biographies are among the best my children have read - they have been particularly stirred by With Daring Faith, the story of missionary Amy Carmichael. Series are listed first in each section, followed by single books listed alphabetically.
