The Toll Keeper’s Daughter
By Mark Roth on August 28, 2008 at 11:04 am
Based on the experiences of Susan, the tollkeeper’s daughter, the story carries you back in time to the early part of the twentieth century during the Home Missions Era of the Mennonite Church.
You will meet Susan at the tollgate and follow her throughout a lifetime of disappointments and joys, trials and ultimate victory. You will view Susan’s struggles as she battles pride and self-will, feel the influence of non-Christian relatives, and rejoice in the joy of victory when she yields her heart to the Lord Jesus.
Susan’s sacrificial spirit will touch your heart. Her devotion to God’s will as she understood it will inspire you to more careful obedience. The efforts of the Mennonites to help needy families in Susan’s community will sharpen your mission vision.

Dannie of Cedar Cliffs
By Mark Roth on August 25, 2008 at 12:10 pm
author comments:
The story of Dannie was given voluntarily from his own lips, with the sole desire that his friends and his posterity profit by his mistakes and successes. It was told to me with keen wit, drollery, and pleasantry and again with seriousness, even genuine solemnity. It gripped me with the conviction that others too might enjoy the same. His children, his neighbors, and some of his closest friends sanctioned the publication of this story.
My motive for writing this bibliographical narrative is threefold: to portray early Mennonite life, to show what part a layman can have in the progress and upbuilding of the church, and to preserve for my own children and others of this generation the story of the heroic struggles of the fathers of the past generation in providing for us today the institutions which at present are so much a part of the life of the church.

One Anothering
By Mark Roth on August 21, 2008 at 11:42 am
A challenge to enrich the quality of your interpersonal relationships at home, at work, and at worship. Seventeen chapters treat love, hospitality, forgiveness, comfort, lying, and much more. Based on the uses of the expression “one another” in the Bible.
Jesus told us that the greatest commandment is to love God with all of our heart, soul, strength and mind and the second greatest is to love our neighbor as ourselves. We often emphasize the vertical relationship with God, while the horizontal relationships with our neighbors are neglected.
Simon Schrock has written a gentle reminder to each of us about our duty to our fellow man. At one time or another, everyone needs a helping hand, an encouraging pat on the back, or simply someone to listen. One Anothering prompts us to be genuine and loving in our relationships with Christ as our example.
154 pages. Paperback. New Leaf Press. Simon Schrock.
