Description:
All three volumes of Helen Roseveare's autobiography combined for the first time, with a foreword by John & Noël Piper, and an introduction and afterword by Betsy Childs Howard.
Throughout her eight years in training for the mission field and her first twelve years in the Congo, Helen Roseveare had prayed that God would give her a mountain-top experience of his glory and power. God's answers formed the basis of her best-selling autobiography, Give Me This Mountain.
However, after enduring civil war, brutal mistreatment, and having to rebuild work from scratch, and later while caring for her elderly mother, she realised that God's work is also done in the valleys.
The third of her autobiographies, written after her mother passed away, emphasises her faithful, daily obedience, digging ditches as God led and trusting him to fill them with life-giving water in his time.
These three books are combined in one volume for the first time giving an overarching view of the amazing ways God used Helen's life. Includes the books Give me This Mountain, He Gave Us a Valley and Digging Ditches.
Brief description: Helen Roseveare (1925-2016) went to the Congo as a missionary between 1953 and 1973. A pioneer of vital medical work in the rainforests of this region, she had a major impact long after she left. Through many trials, she lived out her life striving to serve her Lord with every day and encouraging those around her to do the same.
Review Quotes:
... an amazing autobiography that I'd encourage any Christian to read. You'll learn of Helen and her adventures for the Lord, but greater than that, you'll see the beauty of Jesus in her life, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
