Written by a Scandinavian woman missionary, this book shows the power and beauty of Christianity as it was being revived during the early 20th century. The writer starts by telling of her desolate childhood, which is a little hard to press through, but through this description you understand how she came to such a beautiful reliance on the Lord as her loving Father in later years. One chapter, in which she recounts her first message in a church to the Lapps to whom she'd gone to be a missionary, is a wonderful, faith-filled message that will encourage any Christian in taking the Lord at His word for any need, including healing.I wish many such books were still available to help raise the standard of Christianity in modern churches. Too bad this book is only found at such a high price--I bought it two years ago for probably about $30, and it is now around $150.
