Pepper in Her Pie
By Mark Roth on November 12, 2007 at 11:46 am
This book is based on real-life experiences of Amish settlers in Kansas a hundred years ago.
It is the warmly personal story of adventure-seeking Yost Fisher and his reluctant wife. She did not relish being torn from her comfortable Indiana home to be transplanted on the raw prairies of Kansas.
Just how raw the prairies really were had to be learned the hard way by both she and her husband — grasshoppers, blizzards, dust storms, and drought.

Lovers of the Truth
By Mark Roth on November 9, 2007 at 10:32 am
The Kemptens, a Moravian family, search for spiritual security after the Turks kidnap their son Stefan. Driven from home and sold into slavery, Stefan seeks answers to his perplexities and begins to find them through the Greek Brethren.
This captivating story is built on an often overlooked but significant event in Anabaptist history recorded in the Martyrs Mirror. Through some Moravian captives, the Thessalonican Christians learn about the Anabaptists of Moravia.
Lovers of the Truth is a well-researched, stirring story developed from this historical record. It should inspire readers of all ages to be sincere lovers of the truth.

These Strange Ashes
By Mark Roth on November 8, 2007 at 11:38 am
In this deeply personal account of her first year as a missionary, Elisabeth Elliot shares what it was like to work in the jungles of Ecuador with a small group of women, bringing the Word of God to the Colorado Indians.
With fascinating detail, she captures the stark realities of life among this primitive people and reflects upon the “strange ashes” that can result when an act of obedience is passed through the fires of God’s perfect — yet mysterious — will.
These Strange Ashes is more than a remarkable sharing of a year in the life of a Christian missionary; it is a reflection on the great questions of life and a memorable testimony to the realities of authentic Christian commitment. First published over twenty years ago, this edition includes the author’s candid observations about that first year of ministry and how that experience continues to affect her life today.
152 pages. Paperback. Fleming H. Revell. Elisabeth Elliot.
