This book is about finding courage to live the life you've been given. It's about learning to cast off fear. It's about the faithfulness of God to do what he says he will do. Life can throw some pretty awful stuff at us, but we can overcome our fear by remembering how God has helped us in the past. Looking back to the biblical story of God's faithfulness when his people--the Children of Israel--were under attack, we find that the great judge Samuel set up a "Stone of Remembrance" (1 Samuel 7) so that by looking back and remembering God's faithfulness they could find courage to move on. Author Gwen Ellis weaves together stories of God's faithfulness to his people and God's faithfulness to her and her family for more than three-quarters of a century. There is much to fear in the world today and we need reminders of God's faithfulness to those who love him. God is there when scary things happen and he cares. He cares when you don't have two nickels to rub together. He cares when cancer or other life threatening illnesses happen . God cares when babies die. He cares about your sick kids. He cares about your belligerent teenagers and the struggles you may be having with them. God cares when the world seems to be careening out of control when wars and rumors of wars blaze across our TV screens 24/7. The author shares about the loss of her two babies, her war with cancer, and how she is still alive more than 20 years later. She tells about a lifelong irreversible diagnosis for a grandchild and about God's faithfulness to that child. She also pulls into the book, stories and poems that illustrate how God wants to help us if we will just turn to him and how he is wooing us to come be his children. The final chapter is called "The Wager". An ancient philosopher, Blaise Pascal, wrote about the wager--the "bet"--he took with regard to the existence of God. He said,"You want to be cured of unbelief and you ask for the remedy: learn from those who were once bound like you and who now wager all they have. These are people who know the road you wish to follow, who have been cured of the affliction of which you wish to be cured: follow the way by which they began. They behaved just as if they did believe . . What have you to lose?" Author Ellis asks the same question: What do you have to lose by betting God exists and that he loves you? That he wants to take your fear away, and that he is all he claims to be?

In this warm-hearted, sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant account, Gwen Ellis tells the story of growing up in Montana's Big Sky country during the 1940s when houses had no electric dryers or dishwashers and many people burned wood and coal to keep warm and to cook. This is the story of homemade and homegrown Montanans who hunted so their families would have meat to eat and gardened to feed their families throughout the brutally cold, seemingly endless winters. As you read, you'll: ¿ Hear the bawling of calves and the pounding of horses' hooves as cowboys and ranchers round up their herds. ¿ Breathe deeply of crisp, clean mountain air scented with pine or sage. ¿ Smell the lingering odor of metal clinging to smelter workers' clothes. ¿ View the magnificent vault of clear blue sky that seems to go on into eternity. ¿ Hike beside the author on woodland paths lined with bear grass throwing huge white plumes into the summer breeze. ¿ Relive never-to-be-forgotten camping trips into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. This is the story of people with fiercely independent spirits who fill the state of Montana with a powerful and creative can-do attitude that still exists today. This is the story of a good life made exceptional by love.

The life of Dr. Samuel Wilson Hynd has been devoted to the care of the people of the Kingdom of Swaziland. In this tiny landlocked country he has battled malaria, leprosy, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and multiple other diseases for most of his 90 years of life. Not only has this amazing servant of God treated the subjects of the Kingdom of Swaziland, but he has served the Government of Swaziland as Minister of Health and acted as personal physician to two Kings and the Royal family. He has fought against poverty, injustice, drug, alcohol and smoking abuse. He has given his resources and mobilized other s to give likewise for evangelistic crusades, training pastors, teachers, youth leaders, counselors, and others in ministry as well as for youth outreaches, children's evangelism, and the building churches, schools, and health facilities. He has contributed his finances and his time to rescue and treat orphans found in the most dire circumstances and need. They have become his adopted grandchildren. Such is his expertise and dedication that the King of Swaziland, Queen Elizabeth II, and every organization he served have all bestowed awards upon him. Among the achievements in which he takes most joy are the many educational facilities that have been built in the country including nursing and teacher training facilities, youth centers and media facilities and most recently the founding of SANU, the Southern African Nazarene University located in the city of Manzini on the land developed by his father, Dr. David Hynd. Samuel Hynd is a man who will be found serving his God and his people until the day he dies. He is still opening clinics, working at the ACTS II (AIDS Care Training and Support) Community Clinic he founded shortly after his 80th birthday, and caring for the children of New Hope Centre.
