Behind the Ranges

Geraldine Taylor

The Life-changing Story of J.O Fraser

This book tells the story of J.O. Fraser, a missionary who went one hundred years ago to the Lisu tribespeople in the mountains of Yunnan, south-western China. When he went there were no believers amongst them, far less a church. Fraser learnt the power of witness to them and of persistent prayer in breaking through Satan’s strongholds. The Lisu today have the highest percentage, pro rata, of any minority people in China. A missionary must!


By Searching

Isobel Kuhn

The amazing life of Isobel Kuhn, a missionary who served in China.

Isobel Kuhn gave up a life of comfort to serve God among the Lisu people in a mountainous region of China. Her struggle and search for God shows one the deepest truths there is, that is whether you have, or have not, believed in God already, as long as you want to know him and search him with your spirit, he will prove himself to you. This is a heart-warming read of how God transformed one woman's life forever that will inspire all those who are searching for God.

This biography stirs your faith as you discover Prince's biblical wisdom and insight as well as his legacy as a father, prophet, teacher, and leader. As you read the story of Derek's truly remarkable life and ministry - which has led to an international organization providing Bible teaching in more than sixty languages, reaching six continents, every time zone and 120 nations - you will marvel at God's faithfulness and the truth of Derek's words. In the same way God used Derek's life, be inspired by this book and allow God to use your surrendered life to draw more meaning and purpose from it than you can possibly imagine.


Through the Gates of Splendor

Elisabeth Elliot

Five Missionaries Gave Their Lives in the Jungles of Ecuador and Made Headlines Around the World

In January 1956, a tragic but inspiring story broke in headlines across the world. Five young men had dared to make contact with a Stone Age tribe deep in the Jungles of Ecuador. The goal: to establish communication with a people whose only previous response to the outside world had been to attack all strangers. The men's mission combined modern technology with innate ingenuity, sparked by a passionate determination to get the gospel to a people without Christ.
