Book Review ~ Florence Young

Florence Young

This book was so encouraging to me. It recounts the life of missionary Florence Young, whose heart for the unreached, be it in Queensland, China, the Solomon Islands or beyond, led her on an extraordinary journey to follow God no matter where He leads. I loved this book.  Not only was she an Aussie (well almost), but her life was a roller coaster of different calling and roles. Through all the twists and changes, her faith in God and desire to share Him with others was the one steady thing. Very captivating and inspiring.

Your sister in Christ,

Book Review ~ Being Faithful To Your Future Spouse

When does faithfulness start? What is faithfulness? Who decides who or when you marry? How do you know? Is dating right? Is courtship right? How far is too far?

These are hot questions that need to be answered. The answers affect the rest of your life. Tom Houck does an excellent job tackling these questions from a strictly biblical perspective. You might just be surprised at the answers.

Book Review ~ Ann of Ava & White Coolies

Ann of Ava

This heartfelt, true story made me laugh and cry at the same time. The author follow the life of Ann Judson, who together with her husband Adoniram, was one of the first four missionaries sent out from America. God sent the couple to Burma, which at that time was an uncivilized and savage country, ruled by oppression and bribery. Here, Ann lived a life filled with trials, difficulties and suffering, her only relief being her faithful husband and her trust in the loving God who had sent them there. Her life of love, trust and unwavering love shines as a bright light for all Godly woman follow. A classic example of how God can use the most unique gifts for His glory.

White Coolies

This classic Australian biography was so much fun to read that it jumped the reading queue. Set in the time of WW2, this book records the story of 68 Australian nurses who were captured as Japanese prisoners of war in Singapore, as written by one of the surviving nurses. The creativity and stamina of these ladies is a marvel and makes my Aussie heart proud. You will laugh, cry and rejoice with these girls, no matter who you are, as they tackle the many struggles of prisoners longing to be free.

*This book is very discreet. However, due to the nature of the book, some parts may be to mature for very young readers. In one section, the nurses are asked to 'entertain' the Japanese officers, however the nurse unanimously refuse and won't budge. Nothing happens and the subject is worded carefully, however, I thought I should let others know.
