Reads like a novel but is full of examples of what it means to follow the guide of the Holy Spirit in carrying out His will for our lives.
Amazing Woman of God!

This story has inspired me to seek God more fervently. I read the book because I attend a BSF class and wanted to know more about it's founder. What I didn't expect was what I received from the example of her life.....her book has been a life-changing inspiration!
This One Pulled Me Out Of Depression

I read this one twice when we were overseas. Both times it reminded me Whom I was serving. (No, we're not missionaries.) This book humbled me. I enjoyed it so, so very much. I can't read theology. I enjoy getting my messages from God through the lives of those who loved Him. Thank God for Wetherell's story.Wonderful!

This book is a great read. I found the life experiences of Miss Johnson fascinating. Her life was truly dedicated to God and the experiences she shares show how God weaves all the facets of our lives to work ALL things (good and bad) for the good of those who love Him. This book made me think BIG! I think we all focus too much on matters which don't have eternal importance. It also made me consider what I am doing for God. The main change it brought to my life is my desire to rekindle the Holy Spirit which I had snuffed out many times by not being responsive. Miss Johnson's autobiography caused me to want what she had....the Holy Spirit actively working in her heart.

There are at least three true and ispiring stories here. One, the story of Miss Johnson, her family and her faith which, after floundering, took root in her and led Miss Johnson to missionary service in China. While there, she endured internment during the Japanese occupation. Second, the story of Bible Study Fellowship, born of her experiences and dedication as a missionary. Today, BSF is reaching people internationally. Thirdly, there is the unfolding of the hidden life of prayer and obedience to God's Word, the source and power behind her story.I want to have my own copy to highlight the numerous key principles I want to apply to my life as a result of reading this book.
