I enjoyed this book very much. I have a friend who was a missionary in China.
Across China is a journal about places most Americans will never see.

I read this book because I've seen the movie so many times. It's a good book, but has a poor ending to it.

I enjoyed these stories from a variety of veterinarians in a variety of places; farms, circuses, zoos, etc. Very good for a person that wants to be a vet or loves animals.

Pray more without changing your job description by creatively weaving prayer through your daily life.
This was a very useful book. A large group of us studied it together but the group was too large for suitable discussion. I wish I could go through it again with just a few women.

Told by his daughter Donna, this book is her father's story--of an artist and a Christian. He overcame a poor boyhood to attend art school. He devoted his life to creating things of beauty priced so that everyone could afford them. As a Christian, he helped to revitalize the Youth for Christ organization, aided countless individuals, and was an inspiration to everyone who came in contact with him, including his own family and me.
Please read this book.

Another great Allingham book. It's amazing how she keeps you guessing "who done it." I couldn't put it down.
"Nasty pranks were being played on dancer Jimmy Sutane, star of London's Argosy Theatre. They began backstage as tuppenny-ha'penny squirts of malice. They became a pound's worth of trouble when they spread to the Sutanes' country estate. Someone wanted Jimmy's famous feet to tap their final performance."
