Wind in the Cohunes
By Mark Roth on November 3, 2008 at 11:11 am
Rosita lugged her buckets over the last rise and set them down on the grass beside the path. The path from the spring wound through their Kekchi Indian village deep in the Maya mountains of southern Belize. Rosita stood silent, listening. Among the usual evening sounds of children calling, dogs barking, roosters crowing, and insects buzzing, Rosita thought she heard other voices coming from the direction of the river. It sounded like singing, different than that of her church.
Rosita’s church was somber, a dimly lit chamber with images of saints, smoking incense, and flickering candles. The church, like the village, was dark and filled with superstitions.
Overhead the wind whistled through the tall cohune palms. Wind in the cohunes often announced a change of weather. Listening to the singing, Rosita wondered if perhaps the waving of the cohunes were signaling more than just changes in the weather.

At Every Gate a Pearl
By Mark Roth on October 30, 2008 at 10:08 am
Luis and Rosa were searching for better things. Their quest led them to a new country, a new family, and a new faith. Whether the gates before them opened or closed, they discovered God’s treasures as they trusted and followed Him.
This true story also portrays the effective influence of a godly employer who refused to exploit his migrant workers. His compassion and provision for their material and spiritual needs resulted in the birth and growth of the Hispanic church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the 1940’s.

Even Unto Death
By Mark Roth on October 27, 2008 at 11:15 am
Beginning with the early days of the Swiss Reformation, J. C. Wenger relates the founding of Anabaptism and traces its rapid spread. Through the writings of its pastors and martyrs he reveals the depth and heroism of their faith. Through his discussion of Anabaptist doctrine, Wenger illustrates how the Anabaptists’ beliefs forced them into direct conflict with prevailing mores, resulting in persecution. Anabaptist groups met bitter opposition, being hounded, tortured, and put to death.
The sufferings of the Anabaptists have borne rich fruits. Protestantism owes them a great debt of gratitude — not only for their insights into the nature of Christianity but for their fearless persistence in the truth even unto death.
This book throws light on a little known facet of the Reformation. Its thorough scholarship and straightforward style make it helpful for church historians as well as for ministers and laymen interested in knowing the history of the people of God through the centuries.
