In the eight years following the war despite endless frustrations again and again God showed his unfailing guidance and unstinted provision for her needs. This book is the story of the joys and adventures of reestablishing the medical work the church building programme and the work of forgiveness necessary after the destruction of the civil war.

While some of the points are excellent and the book overall is helpful, I'd recommend it to more mature Christians because of a few theological gripes such as the misconception that you cannot talk to God from anywhere if it's “too sinful or too worldly” like a “saloon or dance hall.” Thank goodness God hears my prayers no matter where my body may be located! See Psalm 189 to counteract this misguided idea. There were a few others of the sort, but this was the most memorable to me.
