Desperate for change three Manobo believers asked God to send a missionary to Taguangu. At that very time God called Ria Zebua from the tiny island of Nias in Indonesia to take the gospel of salvation to the Manobo people. But to which village should Ria go?

A Secret Hope tells how God directed her and a team of Filipino missionaries to the Manobo of Taguangu - that lair of crooks and ruffians. There they saw God do the impossible again and again.

"Has anyone ever told you about the prophecy handed down from our fathers?" Suklinyan asked.

"Our fathers told us that white teachers would come into our area and we were to listen and obey their teaching, and we would be able to recognize them because they would know our language."

A strange thrill went down my spine. I turned toward Russell and we looked at each other, speechless. We knew of no other outsider who could speak Tawbuid.

Leaving home and family, enduring separation from their children for long periods, Russell and Barbara Reed dedicated their entire lives to bringing the gospel to the Tawbuid in the Philippines. Buoyed by the prayers of partners back in the United States, reinforcement workers on the field and God’s powerful presence, they persevered to reach the goal.

How might God use you in creating another breakthrough among those who have yet to hear?

Six "second-mile people" were friends and colleagues whose lives made a deep impression on Isobel Kuhn. These brief character studies of their spiritual lives offer vivid examples of lifestyle Christianity.

Green Leaf In Drought is the story of the reluctant exodus, when the last China Inland Mission members were forced from Communist China. The experiences of Arthur and Wilda Mathews answer the question: Can a Christian grow in the driest circumstances?

Nests Above the Abyss is a classic about the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming lives characterized by fear, sin and darkness into beauty, joy and the hope of the resurrection. Isobel Kuhn was able to write as she did about the Lisu people of southwest China because she lived with them and shared their spiritual battles.

In the Arena continues her story. Christians are on display as in an arena where the trials of her life are "arena experiences" and her most valuable lessons.

John and Isobel were two ordinary people who made an extraordinary commitment in their marriage, to put God first. In her story, Whom God Has Joined, Isobel shares, with honesty and humor, stories from life as a missionary wife in China.

Isobel Kuhn, with her husband John, longed to win the lovable Lisu people to Christ. She delighted in them and the simplicity of these "children of the hills."

Stones of Fire is the true story of Mary, a young Lisu tribeswoman, who was challenged by Isobel to "let God break her heart." This story records her struggles and the surprising results.

Ascent to the Tribes, her most ambitious book, takes the theme of "light" breaking on the far Thailand hills. The name of Jesus was heard on the lips of tribe after tribe, and some would even own Him as Savior and worship Him as the Son of God.

In God's Adventurer, Hudson Taylor was a teenager when God told him to go to China. Though he was alone, broke and critically ill, he hung on to that goal and to the God who was sending him. Would God be enough? Danger and adventure abound in this true story of a man who dared to risk and trust.

In The Promise, one disappointing night Mary makes a promise to God. Little does she know it will carry her half way around the world and throw her into the hands of the communists! Mary's promise takes her to China in 1947, just two years before the communist takeover. Mary struggles to stay true to her promise - and to be thankful in everything. But it is this "thanksgiving key" that will open the door to freedom.
