 | Come on Dad, read another chapter--Please! May 9, 2008 |
I recommend NO MOUNTAIN TOO HIGH, as a youth biography of Gladys Alward. This book takes the reader on an exciting a walk thru the life experiences of Gladys Alward,a British-born woman who felt God calling her to missionary work. Trusting the Lord, her travels take her across Russia to her destination --China-- where she lives, ministers and eventually dies. The author does well in illustrating the difficulties she faced, and the faith that kept her loving. Upon arrival in China they threw mud at her and called her "foreign devil"; yet she loves them and serves humbly and is assigned the Chinese name Ai-weh-deh which means "righteous one." Upon finishing the final chapter last night I proclaimed aloud: "What an awesome woman!" I believe that you will do the same. Surely Gladys Alward was a unique woman, uniquely called, uniquely used... but throughout the book I was challenged by the thought, "Look what God does through those who simply serve him. What about me?"
I read this book aloud to my children (ages 9-13). Every chapter has enough dialog, action, spiritual insight, and often unresolve that each night they pled, "Come on Dad, can't we read another chapter--just one more?" Young readers will find this a compelling easy-reader. I'd also recommend it for Church library and/ or summer reading club--so give it away when you're done with it--or better yet, buy two copies and bless someone.
If you're reading this aloud to children, you'll want to take advantage of the "Thinking Further" pages at the end of the book which assist adults in asking thoughtful follow-up questions after each chapter. I wish I had books like this placed in my hands as a young Christian.
| | | | Heroic and Inspiring Story of Gladys Aylward, Christian Missionary in China Sep 28, 2007 |
| Amazing and true story of a British woman who felt called to serve the people of China. She risks her life and every comfort to make life better for these people and spread her Christian values and religion. She loves God and the Chinese people she serves more than her own life. Over her life she saves 100's of orphans. Through war time their lives are often in peril. She gets her love, courage, and faith from God, expecting and receiving God's protection and miracles. | | | Write your own review about Gladys Aylward No Mountain Too High (Trail Blazers)
